I think we all accept this. The issue is more of normalization and canonicalization. About the only time we can influence this is if some publisher comes to us for permission to use ASF trademarks (e.g. the Feather) - many companies/orgs fire back a usage document spelling out how it is to be presented, etc. That would be a good place to document the 'official convention', whatever this turns out to be :) The only thing we agree on, for certain, is that the program should not be shorthanded as 'Apache' anymore. But changing it here won't correct the boundless third party documentation and commentary on the web, and the Foundation just has to accept this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
