In the past, we have posted items at the www.jabber.org news
page (and
to this email list) that linked directly to press releases
and news
announcements made by companies, service providers, and open
source
projects. Unfortunately, this has resulted in some difficult
decisions
regarding which press releases and announcements are
newsworthy, and
which are not. These decisions are especially difficult
since the Jabber
Software Foundation is and must remain a neutral source of
information
about Jabber/XMPP technologies, and must not post news items
selectively
about particular companies and open-source projects.

Therefore, our new policy will be to post news items only in
order to:

(1) Link to factual articles published by recognized
magazines,
newspapers, and Internet news sites.

(2) Make official announcements from the Jabber Software
Foundation,
such as press releases and notices that the latest Jabber
Journal has
been published.

Therefore, we will no longer link directly to any press
releases or news
announcements made by companies, service providers, and open
source
projects. However, we may link to such press releases and
news
announcements "indirectly" via the Jabber
Journal or news articles
linked to under rule (1) above. Furthermore, we encourage
projects and
companies to have their announcements aggregated at Planet
Jabber News:

http://planet.jabber.o
rg/news/

Finally, this policy is subject to further modification
based on
experience and feedback. Feel free to contact me directly
via the
methods listed at the URL below if you have questions,
comments, or
concerns regarding this posting policy.

Thanks.

Peter
