While it is agreed that public access to information is important, the question remains whether it should be made available to search engines as well. The article suggests that creating a standard for this could be a solution, making it easier for companies to maintain their websites and information. Additionally, the importance of verifying the source of information is highlighted, as well as the need for a public profile connected to the company. The article concludes by mentioning the possibility of using OAuth for login purposes and the importance of having a knowledge base and community. ## Bullet Points: - Should there be a rule for making a subset of information publicly available and indexed in search engines? - Importance of public access to information. - Debate over whether legal information should always be publicly available in search results. - Suggestion to create a standard for making information available. - Benefits of verifying the source of information and having a public profile. - Possibility of using OAuth for login purposes. - Importance of having a knowledge base and community. ## Paraphrases: 1. Having public access to a subset of information is crucial, but whether this information should also be indexed in search engines is uncertain. 2. The idea of creating a standard for making information available online is an intriguing solution, as it would simplify the process of maintaining websites. ### Conclusion: The article explores the idea of making a subset of information publicly available and indexed in search engines. While it is agreed that public access to information is important, there is a debate over whether this information should also be available to search engines.

[View content ↗](https://docs.google.com/_/og/bscframe) ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01h60091wgsrfb4x42a8x4zn4h)) - Note: Project Bedrock aka WordPress /hosting Authors Javier Casares Reviewers Amy Kamala Jessica Frick Lucas Radke Mike Schroder Jesús Yesares Bernard Zijlstra Project Bedrock One of the pillars of WordPress to work on is hosting. Hosting companies depend on the WordPress project but also collaborate within community teams like core, docs, and hosting. Hosting companies are mainly in the spotlights with event sponsorships, we think it’s time to revive another spotlight. For a long time, there has been wordpress.org/hosting, which is underused and which is currently just that, a simple page. For many years, the Make Hosting team has been raising the possibility of creating a directory in which any hosting company that meets a series of predefined requirements, can appear as recommended hosting, or compatible with the WordPress CMS. This project began as the “Requirement Matrix” Criteria, a list created by several members of the Community in which dozens of factors are listed by which each of these hosting providers can be considered, either by functionalities (not numbers), alignment with the project and WordPress values, the minimum technical requirements and options. This document will try to solve some doubts regarding what factors should be considered, how to develop the project, what teams should be involved in it, and how to maintain the site. An important element, which should appear in the list, is respect for the use of the WordPress brand. This living directory can also help WordPress as a brand to make sure we have a transparent and trusted source of hosting companies. Companies where the onboarding experience is friendly and in a well-maintained shape, to not lose newcomers to other solutions like WIX or Shopify. We, as a community, need to make sure that we don’t lose them as customers and users of our ecosystem only because they couldn’t find a good hosting solution. Idea and goal To have a directory of hosting providers, the idea is to be able to access the site and have a list of companies that can be filtered through a series of filters. This directory would be found at wordpress.org/hosting. These filters will be, for the most part, the different factors that will subsequently arise and that may evolve. A directory is proposed in which users can choose providers for their functionalities and needs. It does not suggest a directory in which to promote one over the other, but a list of factors that allow you to help according to your hosting needs. Visually, the listing could be similar to the one currently on wordpress.org/showcase, where you can search, filter or browse. Some existing examples of directory projects can be: webhostinggeeks.com/providers www.whtop.com/directory There would be a series of search listing pages, and listings of each of the hosting providers. Who can appear For starters, any hosting provider can appear on the list as long as it meets minimum requirements. The main one will be compliance with the use of the WordPress brand on your sites, and also help WordCamp, Meetup and other WordPress events to vetting the sponsors. Apart from this, if the data filled in is correct, there should be no problem in showing up. This implies that infrastructure providers, providers that use third-party infrastructure or providers that resell third-party services, among others, may appear. Disclaimer In any case, it will always be necessary to inform that WordPress is not responsible for the products, services, or actions of the providers; nor shall it act as an arbitrator between providers and customers; and that WordPress does not accept any type of payment for the appearance of companies in that list. The procedure On the site there will be a form, to be filled in by the companies that want to appear, in which a series of data will be requested. It will be a long and informative form, so a temporary draft system could be created until its review and publication. This means that a provider accesses the form and can save it temporarily (until the next visit) or submit it for final review. Once the form is received, the team created for this project, which could be like “Hosting Review Team” just like there is the Plugins Review or Themes Review. Review of data As with plugins, the review of the data must be initial by the Hosting Review team, and later by the provider and users. In that first review, the team will analyze all the URLs that are proposed (company, products, terms and conditions, etc.) to validate that they exist and that they meet the minimums, and a general vetting process, like the one we have in place for WordCamp sponsors. A first analysis will also be made in which it is validated that all the factors are publicly available on the site. If all the elements are met, it would be approved and published in the directory, creating a single file of the company, and a single file for its different products. Subsequent updates Frequently, an automatic email will be sent to validate the data. If the data does not change, that validation must also be approved, as is done with plugins every time a new version is sent. This review can be every 3 months (4 annual reviews). This will help validate that the emails are received and that the data is reviewed and up-to-date. In case a provider does not accept these updates during 2 automatic reviews, the listing will be temporarily hidden from the search results, although its tabs will remain active, in addition to being notified. If after these warnings, you still do not validate after the fourth time, the listings on the site will be deactivated. In addition, manual shipments can be made to notify changes in factors. A quick example can be the appearance of a new version of PHP, in which they report the existence, for example, that PHP 8.3 has appeared, and have the option to update that information when appropriate. In this process, the Hosting Review team will be limited to supporting and reporting changes, in addition to managing incidents. User suggestions As it is very possible that it happens, there will be some providers that have contradictory or erroneous elements in their listing. Although the Hosting Review team makes the first review, in later times they can change and, in the same way as any other WordPress elements. We should provide forms in which users can indicate information that may be incorrect, or some detail about the provider. When an incident is received, the Hosting Review team will make the first analysis and, in case of not finding the information publicly, a notice will be sent to the provider to update it or send data about it. If the provider does not send the information in an established timeframe, their information will be hidden from the results, and if in a set time a greater response is not received, the files will be deleted from the website. Review Hosting Team The Hosting Review team will be made up of several people from the WordPress Community who must follow the documentation published in the Handbook of the Hosting team. Like other WordPress Community teams, users will be able to start or end their participation whenever they want, following up in weekly, biweekly or monthly meetings, depending on the workload of the project, which is currently unknown. There must be two levels of access. A higher level where you have permission to disable the appearance of the results, the deactivation of tabs, and the modification and display of any element of the tabs. A lower level where tabs can be updated, without having access to the provider's personal data (for example, email addresses or WordPress users). Technical development This is a complex project, without any doubt, and one that involves many parts within the WordPress Community. Custom Post Type There must be at least 2 Custom Post TypesType. The first one will be generic, and will refer to hosting providers. Here we will have the general data of the provider, its name, website, description and generic elements. The second will be that of a product, which will be associated with the Custom Post Type of providers. In this, we will have an (endless) li
