Ok, based on what little feedback I've gotten from the PRC this is about
as good as I can come up with at this point. What do people think of this
as it is? what do people think of the timeline?

: Dear Wiki user,

: baed on prc feedback

: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:
: * Submissions must include a usable web version (PNG preferred) and a
scalable vector, print quality version of the logo
: * The logo will be used to promote Apache Solr and should evoke the
overall Apache Software Foundation brand [community-centric open source
development, delivering the highest quality, standards compliant software]
: - * The logo must incorporate the full project name: Apache Solr /!\ :TODO:
/!\ ''''Is this strictly true? several current Apache logo's don't have
this.''''
: + * '''The logo must incorporate the full project name: Apache Solr'''
: + * NOTE: The word "Apache" may be in a smaller font then "Solr"
: * The logo should not incorporate images that are exclusively specific to
Native American culture. However, symbols that have broad or multiple meanings
are acceptable in evoking a Native American theme. Thus, a feather, which has
many possible applications, would be appropriate, but a headdress would not be.
: * The logo should not incorporate any overt cultural or religious symbolism
: * The logo may incorporate other imagery, abstract symbols or a
catchphrase, so long as the full project name is included somewhere in the
logo. To this extent, the full project name can be displayed in a smaller font
size than the main image, if there exists a main image

: Supporting "branding" images (ie: favicon, small version, large version,
black and white version, etc...) are not necessary, but may be included and
considered as a factor by the community when voting.

: - == Deadline ==
: + == Voting ==
:
: - Entries will be accepted until '''?DATE?''' at which time a community poll
will be taken into consideration by the developers in picking the new logo on
'''?DATE?'''
: + Once the Deadline for Submissions has been reached, A thread with the
subject "[VOTE] COMMUNITY LOGO PREFERENCES" will be started on the solr-user
mailing list. Any and all members of the Solr community are encouraged to
reply to this thread and list (up to) 5 ranked choices by listing the Jira
attachment URLs. Votes will be assigned a point value based on rank. For each
vote, 1st choice has a point value of 5, 5th place has a point value of 1, and
all others follow a similar pattern.
:
: - /!\ :TODO: /!\ what will the polling mechanism be? what kind of voting
system will be used? will there be multiple rounds? do committers make the
final decision or should it be entirely based on a community vote?
: + For example, the following email...

: + ...would earn 5 points for sslogo-solr3.jpg and 4 points for
solr-logo-20061218.JPG
: +
: + Once the Deadline for Community Voting has been reached, Solr committers
will consider the point totals for each Logo from the community vote and a
thread with the subject "[VOTE] LOGO" will be started on the solr-dev mailing
list where a final (binding) vote will be held (''':TODO: Same process?''')
