Add service profiles
In this discussion I would like to discuss the idea of service profiles. It may not yet clear how this add towards the default ranking, but it would offer developers and applicants of XMPP providers to expose certain focus and categories to their users.
This may also allow to use neutral parameters at all or down or higher rater other parameters in comparison to the default ranking. Still, no quality degradation should be incorporated. Finally, servers that do certainly NOT recommended for a service profile could be exposed as well.
How could this look like?
-
Service profile: Security
- This profile could cover only service with a bus-factor of 2, no password reset allowed, contact to administrator and Legal Notice available. Of course it should have an A or B rating with compliance and when available again security check.
-
Service profile: Professional
- This service should cover professionally maintained services that can also be paid and offer significant higher offers when it comes to data storage and support. Exposing this could make professional hosting of XMPP service attractive again and support the XMPP ecosystem in general.
-
Service profile: High Media
- This service should offer significant higher values for the upload maxima etc. This may possibly the only measure we increase for this profile.
What other service profiles could be there? Any other thoughts?
