I thought the product name was changed to Apache OpenOffice. Shouldn't

Or are you going to use "OpenOffice.org 3.4"? Or, as you stated,
"OpenOffice 3.4"?
Is your legal name really Larry, or something like Lawrence? Does
your middle initial stand for something, or is it really just "I"?
Are you going to answer the question? Or just make totally irrelevant
remarks about my name?
I thought the point was obvious. Sorry if it was not clear. We have
proper names and we have short names. When I make an off-hand mention
of "OpenOffice" or even "AOO" that does not imply that I'm making a
formal notice of a product renaming. Just as you being called "Larry"
does not amount to a legal name change.
The point was obvious, but it did not answer the question. You still haven't
answered the question.
BTW, Larry is not short for Lawrence. The I obviously does stand for something since it has a
period after it.
There is a place for using formal names. When I sign a legal document
I am "Robert Cameron Weir". But here I am just Rob Weir. When we
mention the product in a formal setting, we will call it "Apache
OpenOffice" at the first mention of it on a page or an article or a
press release. But subsequent references in the same document may
just be called "OpenOffice". Formal names and short names. I'm sure
we're all familiar with the concept.
None of which answer my question. "Shouldn't the release be "Apache OpenOffice
3.4"?
The wiki page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Current+Status+FAQ states:
"Future releases from the OpenOffice.org domain will be called "Apache OpenOffice"."
and"
"Once Apache OpenOffice v3.4 is released, the project recommends you replace your
OpenOffice.org installation with it."
However the developer snapshots still install as "OpenOffice.org".
So which name will the release version use? Is that clearer so you can
understand the question?
