Its password protected right now because the site is still "under construction" and not ready for public view. Ping me personally and I can provide you a URL. > Has the site's owner reviewed the ASF's domain name branding policy and > made a request to use this domain name? > > http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/domains I'm not sure.

PlanetTinkerPop is being represented as an "academic journal." Anyone can provide submissions to the journal and the people on planettinkerpop mailing list can VOTE and decide what gets published. The reason this is a separate site is because it is has both a technology and business component. For instance, we use the term "vendors," "vendors" can put their logo on the site with a blurb about their product, articles can talk about costs, customers, etc. I text'd you the site+password. Please review and feel free to comment here with your thoughts. Again, we don't want to make it public yet because of vendor logos and getting all the paperwork straight with them first.
