You may have missed this bullet: "The quality of the product is not an issue."

What does quality have to do with the text you quoted? I still don't see anyone ponying up their time, and cash to run this site without actually charging people to get certified. And by charging them I can see abuses from the get go.

Quote - Yep. Look at all the Wikis out there, and look at all the open source work being done. People do stuff like this all the time.

I think that you should look at the Wikis. Specifically, the Poser Wikis. DAZ has one that they can't get anyone to fill out and Rendo has a barebones one here which I've submitted two entries to but it's just not taking off either. Poser users in general, just aren't the Wiki filling out sort. These are the people you're expecting to do this work non-gratis? 

You want to compare Certification to Open Source? Look at how few people are actually doing the work on Antonia. It would take 100 times that amount of people to do the work to certify files to get the Poser Certified sticker if people actually took their stuff there to be certified.

But hey, don't let me rain on your parade. I like pie too. Pie in the sky is just too hard to get to IMHO. :rolleyes:
