W3C Testimonial FAQ
-------------------

q. What are the basics for writing a testimonial for a W3C
Announcement?

A testimonial must:

 * contain a statement of support for the W3C and the
   technology we are promoting in this release;
 * be grammatically correct;
 * be attributed to an individual in the submitter's organization
   (name, title, org)

A testimonial should:

 * contain an explanation of why the news is important to the Web
   or to specific communities, extolling the virtues and features
   not before enjoyed;
 * include a commitment for support of the spec in existing or
   future products and/or services

A testimonial may:

 * include product announcements which support the technology now
   or plans to support later;
 * be in a language other than English.

A testimonial must not:

 * contain criticisms of the technology that may undermine the
   success of the specification;
 * contain links to sites outside of W3C;
 * criticize other products or services;
 * exceed 100 words


q: May we mention our product(s) by name in our testimonial?
a: Yes, you may.


q: Are we restricted in providing a name for the testimonial   
  "speaker"?
a: No, though we suggest choosing people who may have name 
   recognition in the trade press. In some cases, that may be the
   WG participant; in other cases, it may be someone else in your 
   organization.
