thanks for sharing this - my German is somewhat limited but I think I got the gist of it, I have two comments: "Fast zeitgleich mit der Entstehung des OpenDDR-Projekts machte man sich in der Apache Foundation ähnliche Gedanken und evaluierte verfügbare Open Source-Lösungen. Diese Evaluierung befand OpenDDR als das vielversprechendste Projekt und im ersten Halbjahr 2012 wurden neben dem W3C konformen Device Repository Java- und .NET-Clients von OpenDDR als Initial Contribution zur Verfügung gestellt [3]. " IIUC this means that the ASF evaluated various open source solutions and selected OpenDDR as the basis of DeviceMap. If yes this is not correct - the ASF has no technical strategy and does not select things. It's the initial DeviceMap committers who decided to accept the initial OpenDDR code donation. It's a subtle but important difference - the ASF only exists to provide a space for its projects to exist, but does not make any technical decisions on behalf of its projects. There's lots of misunderstandings in our audience about this, so it's good to help make that clear as often as we can. Apart from that it feels like that article contains a good deal of WURFL bashing - let it be clear that Apache DeviceMap does not support such things. In this case it's fine as IIUC it's clear that the article is your own. -Bertrand
