Reza/Eberhard/all,

A DevOps guy pointed this out on Twitter the other day. I recommended it to
JCP PMO if they want to use a free and open source to check company
registrations to see, if e.g. someone who claims to be an "Individual
Member" is actually owner or shareholder of a company, etc.

What makes this very interesting for DeviceMap is, that

   1. It is commonly available, public and free information, yet, in this
   case there are of course also vendors around the world, offering either web
   services, books or DVDs, etc. with the same information for various cost
   levels (kind of like WURFL tries with the free, publicly available DEVICE
   and User Agent information[?])
   2. This portal seems to be maintained either by the community or at
   least a group of people, not so different from e.g. Wikimedia. There may be
   at least a few less unique device signatures and feature combinations than
   those 55 Mio. companies, but what this portal accomplished for a huge
   number of unique entries across even multiple different data sources, maybe
   we can find a more collaborative way for actual data entry and maintenance,
   too?[?]
