Non-standard compliant website list
One thing that keeps people from adopting Linux is the problem of websites being designed using MS only technologies, or that block non MS browsers or OSes. Would it be feasible for us to set up a list of commonly used / important websites that do this, and lobby those sites to adopt modern stadards, and to blitz whatever reviews possible to indicate their failure and lower their ranking, thus pressutring them to adopt standards? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org

Kostas I'll have to talk to a few of my friends that have brought some up, then I'll make my own list which would be added to whatever list or DB we create. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org

Well, I don't see why we couldn't get the initiative rolling. Not that such a thing is for the ambassadors to dedicate their time to, but I think it could be a aa good program. And every idea has to start somewhere. If you want to do it - that is fine. And yes, some openSUSE people might join you in it - as a Free Software community, we care about such things. But it is, as AJ said, not a core thing for us...
I don't really think "openSUSE" should be emailing websites to complain about their lack of standards-compliance. It doesn't make much sense for us. A project like the Free Software Foundation is about that stuff - not us.
