Suggestion for now: “Mirror of Apache CloudStack for testing purposes only”. While what is there now is technically correct, it is incomplete. In particular it can, and has, caused confusion. Based on Will's comments earlier in this thread, I believe that my suggestion is an accurate portrayal of the current status, otherwise please substitute a more accurate description. (the subtext here: I am not an ASF Director stepping in and demanding change, so please don't take anything I say as an edict, I'm simply participating in the conversation). Longer term, this may very well be "Apache CloudStack" in the same sense that the github whimsy repository is "Apache Whimsy". Or the code could end up in a different place, like the apache-cloudstack organization I suggested previously. - Sam Ruby
