Who is going to implement certification? And check it? And enforce it? And Pay for it? Or is it just voluntary and you get to throw a gif up on your webpage that says your a member a-la Bitcoin foundation?
Let's figure that out together. It will be discussed, so if you are not attending the Milan meeting and have some ideas, please throw them out here. What we can definitely tell you is that
we would keep this as open and democratic as possible. Certification could be anointed by vote, or by self-appointment (with justification). Probably the latter is best, so we can spawn thousands of additional threads on bitcointalk where we bicker about this-or-that detail. Who knows.
All idiotic questions, goes well along the idiotic topic's title.
What should be done instead is just create a page with the features expected for An (Vaporware) App With a Name I Like. Then if you make My App I Like Best with those features, you just say that you have all the features for that (Vaporware) App With a Name I Like with a reference to that page created previously.
After reading some of the comments here, I'm surprised that the bitcoin-qt client is still free and open source. Calling for certifications (even more than one, lol) is certainly a joke, a bad one.
Are you interested in privacy, security and decentralization being a standard part of wallets? If so, please consider taking a less cynical attitude towards the proposal. It's understandable (especially lately) that there is a lot of fear and doubt lingering around, but on the other hand that's all the more reason to push forward. It may be that the initial attempt goes nowhere... But let's try.
And please see our comment above to crazy_rabbit. We don't yet know how this could be done without corruption in some respect, but openly discussing it without blind dismissal is surely the best way to figure that out, no?
