Hi
I am writing this as a nxogre user for 6 months.
I saw that recently sinbad have added a page with the tile "what we recommend". This is the post http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=55300 and this is the page http://www.ogre3d.org/download/we-recommend
NzOgre almost fullfilled all the required criterias.
1 Mature -
At least 6 months older - NxOgre 0.5 released in Mar 08, 2006 so it is more than 3 years mature
2 Ogre Oriented - No need to discuss
3 provide strong support -
Betajaen and spacegaier are actively visit the forum and answering for the questions
Betajaen got 5044 posts, I have just checked few pages in his forum posts pages all are relate to nxogre
spacegaier wrote and still writing very helpful tutorials
Maintaining a dedicated website for NxOgre http://www.nxogre.org
NxOGRE is the most active and biggest forum in the add-ons forums list

I was thinking the same thing, but I feel I shouldn't put up the recommendation. It would carry more weight if it came from someone else who isn't affiliated with NxOgre, if anyone else wants to however, they have my blessing, but if you do, make your case solid.

I would suggest that the person who does it is a native English speaker, or can get someone who speaks English as their first language to write out the proposal. The person should also have some sort of standing in the community; A high post count (>200) or done something good - released a game, app or library, or who is just well known.

These are my suggestions on the categories. If you use them - rewrite them.

Mature.
- NxOgre is at least three years old.
- It has been used in a number of games such as Thunderwheels and Zombie Driver.

Ogre Orientated.
- NxOgre supports Ogre using SceneNodes to update positions of RigidBodies, makes use of the Ogre Renderable class to draw Soft Bodies, Fluid and Cloth, and finally makes use of the particle system to render gases and fluids.
- It has it's own forum in the Ogre Addons.

Provide Strong Support.
- NxOgre portal on the Ogre Wiki, with maintained by Spacegaier with tutorials written by him.
- Betajaen who is the lead developer has wrote other famous Ogre applications (BetaGUI, BetaCairo, etc.). Has been awarded as an Ogre Expert user.
- Spacegaier who is Betajaen's right hand man, who wrote the Basic and Advanced Ogre Frameworks, done countless work on the Ogre Wiki and has been awarded Ogre Community member.
- Both Betajaen and Spacegaier, read every post and try to answer them all. Most issues are answers, and if a bug is found or a small feature is needed, it is usually added or fixed within the next Git commit.

Hi betajaen
Will they accept an application from someone else other than the original author?
