It was policy at one point for podlings to have .incubator. in their home page 
url. But many podlings now have transitioned away from this and simply use 
their podling.apache.org name. The policy document is a bit iffy on the subject:
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html

> After a podling has been approved, the lists are created, and the initial 
> code drop has commenced, you MUST refer to the podling as Apache Podling-Name 
> AND mention that the project is under Incubation. Suitable mentions include:
> 
>       • Inclusion of the http://podling-name.incubator.apache.org/ URL
> 
>       • Apache Podling-Name is currently undergoing Incubation at the Apache 
> Software Foundation.
> 
> The Incubator PMC (IPMC) must approve other references before you publish 
> them. You only need to make these statements upon the first reference to the 
> podling in a document.

I feel this is very much like the former requirement for mail lists to include 
incubator.apache.org as part of their name. This turned out to be a huge waste 
of time for the podling as well as for infra when upon graduation all of the 
documentation and tooling for mail lists had to change.

I would propose that as part of our official policy we recommend the podling's 
url as https://podling.apache.org and get rid of the .incubator. in the url.

WDYT?
