There are some first steps proceding with moving portions of the existng

This page lacks headers and footers, which brings me to...
I know there's been discussion about the current OpenOffice.org logo
vis a vis trademarks, possible changes due to Apache etc.
But could someone give us an update on this?
Can we use the existing logo without changes (i.e. ref to Apache?) or ???
Use the logo where?
see the link above?
Oh, that page. That is just a prototype, right? We're not linking to
it from the Podling website, right?
Right, we just play a bit with the file to see how they behave and look
like inside the Apache infrastructure. The biggest difference to the
original pages are now header and footer.
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.
My suggestion:
We can create a legacy webpage for non-Apache releases with an own and
static branding as exception. All other webpages can get a new branding
from templates, CSS, etc.
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? The ones at OO.o that have the Oracle and
the Project Kenai logos and have the statement "Oracle and Java are
registered trademarks of Oracle and/or its affiliates"? I don't
think we will want to keep that page footer unchanged.
Of course some things have to be exchanged. But I think Kay means if we can
keep the general wording/formulation the same or do we need to change them
totally.
We should also review the privacy policy, the disclaimer, the terms of
use, etc. We should probably harmonize with whatever Apache uses. 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.
OK, seems to become a totally new one. ;-)
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?
