Oh, that page. That is just a prototype, right? We're not linking to it from the Podling website, right? We need to have a separate discussion if we want to start offering downloads of legacy OOo releases from the Apache side. From the website perspective, yes, we want consistent branding. But we also need to make it clear that those are not Apache files and are not under the Apache 2.0 license. >>> There seems to be few Apache projects. e.g Buildr, which don't seem to >>> use >>> the Apache logo, and since there seems to be a consensus to keep >>> OpenOffice.org at a site openoffice.org, I'm wondering if we can just >>> proceed with what we ahve in terms of headers for web pages without >>> change. >>> >> >> Which headers and footers?

So I don't think anything from the footer other than "This page was last modified on..." can be assumed to be reusable as-is. The header, however, is wonderful. I wouldn't change that. It might be worth starting a thread on "web site design". Maybe we want a redesign for a "re-launch" timed to our first Apache release? -Rob > >
