[tei-council] Badging again,

[Dan O'Donnell]

Hi all,

The board has approved the preference of council for the badging: the 
"Powered by" badge here: http://people.virginia.edu/~bc4m/tei/. Like 
most of y'all, it didn't really see the need for separate variants for 
things like Tite or P5. And it wasn't keen on the Host/Subscriber/Member 
set. It is also happy delegating any minor changes and wording of 
guidelines on how to use the badges to council. I will say that a change 
I wouldn't mind seeing is a slightly bigger TEI logo on the button: I 
like the way the yellow goes over the boundaries of the blue box, and I 
think it would be  really neat if we emphasised that a little more. 
Otherwise I think its fine.

I'd like to get this up on the site, as soon as we can. So: any final 
changes or suggestions for the badge? Suggestions for parameters to give 
people who want to use the badges? What do people who put "Powered by 
TEI" on a site mean: that they use it on their project? That a specific  
webpage has an underlying TEI document behind it? Something else? Lou's 
opinion was that "Powered by"

> is for use by anyone who uses any version of TEI anywhere 
> in their site in any way.

I'd like myself to be as broad as possible in our recommendations: the 
goal of the badge is to advertise use of the TEI to the community at 
large rather, as many people here have pointed out, a specific claim 
about encoding practice. If some wording other than "Powered by" 
suggests itself for this goal, please feel free to suggest it: it was 
less the case that the Board was enamoured "powered by" than that they, 
like most of you, didn't like any of the alternatives and sub-divisions. 
But if the consensus is that "Powered by" does what Lou suggests it 
should, I'm happy with it.

Ideas?
