Nils-- I'm wondering if we are too closely mirroring the details
of Sun's internal organizational hierarchy with our selection of
communities. And I think that 'BrandX' is going to feel confusing
to folks 24 months down the line, when the memory of that code name
is hazy, don't you?
Might 'branded-zones' be a logical part of the zones community?
I'm concerned that for folks casually browsing, things may otherwise
become confusing. We can obviously refactor the zones community site as
needed in cooperation with you and your team.
As a side note, a single community can support multiple mailing lists,
so there would be no problem with having branded-zones-discuss as an
alias. Thoughts?
