A good AOO is not only good code (QA, translation, ...). Sorry, but I'm disappointed because my suggestion was only to reflect together about a better name for "sidebar", maybe we can find a better name. Everything You answer me, that's my suggestion is apparently uncomfortable. It is very important to the AOO has good technical quality, but if we believe it is sufficient for success, we are wrong. Good marketing is not an optional extra but a necessity that we should all understand. But it is not so, I because I am aware of these relationships, it also can convert well ourselves. Good marketing is a task for experts, and I think Apache has these experts, but it is our task to initiate the work of these experts, first by recognizing the importance of this work. Specifically, a sound name for our bar would be good for our marketing, we need only the name before then, and not just on the edge. However, this may not work if we do not want it because we think it is not important.
