Moving this to dev since it does not contain any private information. 1) Looks like the site navigation needs some additional links to "Sponsorship", "Thanks", and "Security". We have some of these on second-level pages, but not in the main nav. They'll have to go in the bottom nav since there's no place to put them at the top.
2) We're supposed to add a trademark symbol to the logo, but I'm not sure how we might do that. Maybe we can get in touch with Thien who designed the original logo for help. 3) The introductory text needs to include a "TM" symbol: "Apache Pivot™ is an open-source platform..." 4) This needs to be added to the page footer: "Apache Pivot, Pivot, Apache, and the Apache Pivot project logo are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation." 5) Finally, it looks like we'll need a DOAP file: http://projects.apache.org/create.html Any volunteers? :-) On Jun 1, 2011, at 7:23 PM, Sandro Martini wrote: > Hi all, > > Greg/Todd, have you got a plan for the checklist for Pivot ( > http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs#checklist ), as requested > until Q1 2011 ?
