i do not like this term. a service provider provides a service to people that can not do it themselves. I love the "one plate, one cook, one fireplace" philosophy behind xmpp. the total and absolute federation. a world without service provider.

I like that too, but not everybody can do everything themselves
-
MattJ
and we shouldn't exclude such people from XMPP
-

Otherwise they end up with "easier" services exploiting their needs

Any recommendations how to clarify this term?

Does the term service provider need clarification?
-
MattJ
I think so, ever since I listed myself there ages ago. It seems a bit ambiguous to me, exactly what a "service provider" is. But maybe that's the point :)

I see listed there providers of XMPP services (e.g. XMPP domain hosting), which is the first thing I think of when I see "service provider" in the context of XMPP
-
MattJ
But also listed are folks doing consulting, which is a different thing

Maybe XMPP Consulting & Service providers
