About standards

Dear lazy mailinglist:

I'm facing the writing of
https://edit.gnome.jardigrec
.eu/en/take-the-tour/usable-accessible-standards-quality


The page is called "Standarized" and we will
include there (as you see
from the provisional URL) usability, accessibility and
quality in
general.

Can you help listing the standards worth mentioning we are
following,
promoting, building...

We have the HIG. We have freedesktop.org. What else?

Thanks.

PS: just finished

Here are a few. We seem to have removed this section from
later versions
of the release notes:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnstandards.html

Thanks!

These go into really technical details (as it should be for
that
page). I have ended up doing this:

Note that freedesktop.org things are not standards: they're
specifications 

I'm working at the freedesktop.org level to fix the message
so that this
is clearer.

For that matter, the HIG things aren't standards either,
they're
guidelines...

Oh my, you are more strict than the ISO9001 when defining
"standard".
  The
term has several meanings, in the dictionary and in
people's
minds.

The page is titled "Standardized", plase suggest a
better one word title.

In the content there is a mention to the expression
"high standards"
and then it mentions "open formats and standards"
when referring tto
PNG, XML, Ogg and etc. If there is something wrong in this
sentence
(or any other in the text) please provide the correction so
I can
apply it.

Thanks!

I'm definitely not a good writer, and I can't think of a way
to improve
this. My point was only that we should not talk about
"freedesktop.org
standards" if possible. And we don't, so I'm happy
