In our case, nesting won't help (if project XXX selects "OGC" as its standards support in the wordpress backend, the reader of our site will assume that all OGC standards are met by project XXX - so yes I agree that the best thing is to delete the single "OGC" option. As for other

Note that the issue here is not nested or not; the issue is that we must be careful with the use of the word "standard" on our new site. -jeff On 2017-08-22 3:11 PM, Jody Garnett wrote: Never mind, you can have nesting, so OGC can contain WFS, WMS, WCS, etc... -- Jody Garnett On 22 August

For the beta website we all have the same permissions, when this goes live I hope we can cut this down :) Many of the standards did not make sense to me, but made sense to the geoserver-dev team (for example I had forgotten about web context service as implemented by deegree). We should also

Many of these don't make any sense to me, if you ask me my opinion. We should be using the list of OGC standards and entering them into wordpress, and not allowing editors to edit/add new non-standards. But that is all my own opinion :) Then we can link to these standards. As of now anyone

That was actually the original requirement Jeff. I am having a hard time explaining to get Interactive that the sort order "core contributor" changes based on project. Even though we used the geoserver and qgis pages as an example. It is kind of working since they have that association for "core

JeffM, It seems you are making a leap from asking service providers how big they are to this alienating them or somehow excluding ones of a certain size (big or small it's not clear). Can you explain the thoughts behind your argument here? I think the rest of us are saying that everyone should be
