Sorry, I am out of pocket and this thread is so long. Basically she is talking about consulting one of the ASF's attorney's regarding the names and brand dilution issues from a legal standpoint. I hadn't gotten to market research. I'm focused on migration and the websites - all names are possible right now and in the future. I don't want to tie the branding too tightly in the web design. The Apache CMS will allow us to isolate these elements. Regards, Dave
