doing this crosschecked with @csarven, @bourgeoa or maintainers, please review and merge

foreseeable the added providers are persistent enough

hope that helps

Couple of things. Not sure about the correctness of some of this information, e.g., the software that's being used. Is that based on public information or informed by the provider? Some of the services require paid sign-ups, so can't tell.

Generally, we should aim to have the consent of the provider to be listed in this table. Or at least inform them that they are being listed so that they can have a chance to correct this information.

I have edited precisely.
though, not sure, how to use the github resolve conversation feature

[ewingson]

how do we find consensus ?
+1 for keeping it in the list...

@ewingson — in b98072b, you said --

- I have deleted the OpenLink servers, because the server seems no original 
  NSS and the versions seem deprecated (v4 and v5)

I need to understand what the above means.

• "the server seems no original NSS" is not English.
• "the versions seem deprecated (v4 and v5)" suggests that the list is only meant to include specific version(s) of something, but I don't see anything that says what those versions are.

To my mind, "current, known instances in the wild" should include any version of any implementation. That should include those two OpenLink-hosted instances, which are running OpenLink forks of NSS.

Sarven mentioned

Seems like it is NSS with some OpenLink customisations? If that's a different software than NSS, it is better to link to that instead of NSS.

if it is a minor concern, that the two servers are running Solid 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 (which seem at least originated in Node Solid Server) we can of course again include them in the list (which then would (positively) be more inclusive).

let's look what Kingsley can contribute...

[kidehen]

Those are instances that work, and based on what @TallTed has already stated. You should only be concerned if they aren't working, otherwise, they are usable solid servers etc..
