Are you familiar with the word 'scab' in English? Not very appealing. :)

I think is a very cool idea, Nolan. Perhaps only the Members would be
able to nominate a program for submission? That would give us
something else to do, and keep the Council from having to waste time
on apps which do not meet a certain predefined criteria.
I think that criterion #1 would be stict adherence and and
comprehensive utilization (where applicable) to XMPP & JEPs.
For example, take a script that simply logs into an account and sends
a message. It could be XMPP compliant, yet not implement hardly any
JEPs since it is a single purpose script. That could meet the
criteria above.
Yet neither a non-XMPP-compliant full-featured jabber client, nor an
XMPP-compliant client which does not implement Disco (which is in
JEP-73 Basic IM Suite) would pass.
