(E.G acroread) Right. Several others, including Greg Lehey, have mentioned adding the additional qualification of "a port kit that will install this software EXISTS." I'm coming around to this; it provides us with a good, finite test of whether a software product really qualifies for the logo. Agreement?

I think the > KISS principle should apply. Do we agree? Yeah, let's keep the infrastructure down to a web page or so. Each item that qualifies for a logo gets a mention on the web page, and may have links to: o A port kit to install it. o A vendor web page advertising the product. o A FreeBSD web page with notes from the team that tested the product and/or wrote the installer. (For "Works with" products) -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
