Hi Quim,
Looks like I was very distracted writing this email :)
[citation needed] :)
I had in mind the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Jobs/Archive discussion as well as an email I received from a company that created a User profile, which was deleted as spam. There are probably other cases.

As I have been talking to third-party MW users quite a lot recently, I notice that one of the major issues they are facing is the lack of visibility on MW.org.
Proposals welcome.
I have seen some previous work like that has been
reverted because WMF does not want to endorse any external parties on mw.org.

It would be useful to know about these reverts in order to understand the reasons and how we all can do better next itme.
However, at the same time I see some pages featuring such users such as
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**MediaWiki_testimonialshttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_testimonialsand http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**MediaWiki_with_BitNamihttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_with_BitNami. So my question here is how much is acceptable?
Totally acceptable?
The only limitations I can think of are the usual: unmaintained, broken or unsecure software, misleading use of trademarks or ownership... Other than that this is a free software project interested in promoting the activities of the community and remarkable uses done by third parties.
