I don't think our community has the strength to define standards on our own.
Why should we insist that a community should have the strength first to initiate this process, let's accept ourselves as weak, and set off.
Experts could start with certain "community standards" for software, have a procedure for standards to arrive and be there (if need be, for phasing out, as well).
We could even accept certain ISO standards, if they fall within the scope of our definition.
Isolated FSUGs around the globe could do wonders here.
Independant activists like me could then wait for the next horror to be analysed.
