Business Readiness Rating - A Proposed Open Standard to Facilitate Assessment and Adoption of Open Source Software

The rating system will employ an open-source model with scores determined by those who use certain programs and contribute their judgments.

The rating system has 12 categories, including functionality, usability, quality, security, documentation and technical support. Each category is to be rated 1 to 5. There will also be filtering tools so a potential corporate user can specify its most important considerations.

Companies want to spend their engineering time and money building useful software that can help them find customers, improve service and streamline purchasing, and not on evaluating software building blocks by themselves, said Kim Polese, chief executive of SpikeSource, a start-up firm in Redwood City, Calif.
