Okay, so we've been having a long discussion regarding trademarks as the
project transitions from fluo.io to fluo.apache.org on the incubator list (
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/69a0c4befd56240ac642c4912e7497ea53720920a459e923f5cf7e91@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E).
Several issues arose, and Keith, Mike and I have been discussing what we
think is the best plan forward.

What we think is best:

1. Create a branch in the incubator-fluo repo for the resources, and do an
Apache release of the checkstyle/formatter rules in that resources jar.

2. Update the parent POM to use that resources jar instead of the
previously released io.fluo one.

3. Donate fluo.io to the ASF to do what they wish with it.

4. Replace/Remove any links to fluo.io on the fluo.apache.org website.

5. Open a discussion on [email protected] to determine whether the
GitHub organization "fluo-io" should be renamed, and what would be an
acceptable name for a GitHub organization containing fluo-related 3rd party
projects. Also determine whether it is acceptable to use the trademark for
fluo-related extensions repository names (eg. "fluo-stress" and
"fluo-quickstart").

6. Complete the PODLINGNAMESEARCH, so all this effort to protect the "Fluo"
trademark isn't done in vain.


I'll go ahead and get started on item 1, because I think that should be
relatively easy to do.
