One suggestion: make it clear which list we're primarily discussing any
proposals on, so we don't keep having threads come and go between lists.
I would normally expect that major decisions for the project would be
decided by a [VOTE] thread on the ooo-dev@ list.

As far as the substance is concerned,
1. Name:
The word 'Apache' has to be used. 'OpenOffice' has history and familiarity.
The
suffix '.org' is no longer needed. It was an oddity to name software with the
address
of a website.
In particular, people should read:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs
2. Logos:
The Apache logo must be used. To make sure that people recognise the heritage
of the
software, at least one OpenOffice logo should be used. This is a link to a
page containing
brands: http://www.openoffice.org/trademark/brandrefresh.html
The project is free to choose a graphical logo in their own style.
There is *no* requirement to include the Apache feather in the actual
product logo; if the project does happen to want to incorporate the
feather in your product logo, you must use the correct
colors/orientation/style of the master logo as displayed on apache.org
I would strongly suggest that someplace in the navigation of the various
websites - either part of a navbar, menu links, or the footer - have
either a noticeable text link or a feather with a link to the main
Apache homepage, to emphasize that this is an Apache project.

P.S. Reminder: if the project has a specific question about Apache
branding, please email trademarks@ directly. While I do read this/these
list(s) as a mentor fairly regularly, specific branding questions belong
on tradmarks@
