Nathan,
<br>
<br>I will add to this. In private email I have talked with Russell Coker and I would be happy to support this project by pointing to this "corpus of people" and if LCA decides to officially endorse it to point to them too.
<br>
<br>In addition, I will reach out to LPI's Board of Directors to see if LPI would be willing to support this through their Personal Development programs, particularly in the DevOP space.
<br>
<br>I have started an article for the Linux Pro Magazine on these issues, and would be happy to mention the concepts in that and when you are further along do a follow-up to the actual mechanisms.
<br>
<br>Warmest regards,
<br>
<br>maddog

To make this more concrete/actionable:
<div>
1. I think there is a large enough corpus of people who think this is a good idea to pursue it;
</div>
<div>
2. Clearly it will have more weight/value if it's officially endorsed by LCA (which awaits a new council);
</div>
<div>
3. There's no reason we can't develop a full proposal now for council to review/approve when ready.
</div>
<div>

At this stage, the following people have put up their hand in some way:
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>John Dalton</li>
<li>Hugh Blemings</li>
<li>Russell Coker</li>
<li>Jonathan Woithe (?)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
I am also willing to contribute.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Jonathan (or others from council), if there's a preferred format for such proposals, please let me know.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I have drafted a bare bones proposal and a process in <a href="http://JohnDaltonHughBlemingsRussellCokerJonathanWoithe">this Google doc</a>.

<br>
<br>NoScripts breaks lots of stuff, largely because many sites (a) are
<br>totally dependent on JavaScript for the basics (there are eg
<br>news/magazine sites which don't even render article text unless you turn
<br>on some of their JS) and (b) some sites, particularly TV VOD sites eg
<br>CBS which pull JS from a frankly obscene number of third parties (eg
<br>something like 20 different sources for CBS when last I had to visit it
<br>some years back).
<br>
<br>NoScript lets you enable (permanently and temporarily) various JS
<br>sources and also disable permanently (hi facebook and google analytics).
<br>
<br>But having a functional web does require one to whitelist some JS from
<br>various places for various sites.
<br>
<br>I run NoScript in my firefox, and I love it. But there's per-user admin
<br>pain.
<br>
<br>Cheers,
