It is true that users who hit jabber.org for the first time need
guidance. Most want a single simple download link. On the other hand
offering only one or two clients is unfair for the other developers.
Therefore we have a long list with the box at the top of the page as a
compromise. A certification makes it more fair, although probably not
better. A certification must not be easy to achieve. Otherwise we get a
large list of certified clients, servers, etc. 

I would probably not certify clients, but rather select distinguished
projects. At most one or two per category. I have no idea and even less
time to work on certification rules. This makes it difficult for me to
vote pro certification. But I would support some kind of selection of
distinguished projects. 

My 2 cents, because I think this list need more answers to questions and
polls.
