[webteam] objectivity

[Nicolas Vérité]

Why not a public, methodic, scientif study on the subject?
There is QSOS which is a open methodology,
that can really, really help.

We've already worked the clients, but it's quite incomplete,
and lacks some order and criteria.

I'd like to work on the server side... If someone wants to
get involved and contribute ;-)

http://www.qsos.org/

But I think it's quite offtopic; though we can publish that kind of study,
on jabber.org whenever everything is ready.
