1. I have updated the home page to have the disclaimer line and link to

I just took a quick look at what other podling home pages have. It
looks to me like most of them include the Incubator logo (see
http://incubator.apache.org/images/apache-incubator-logo.png). I
think you should definitely add this somewhere.
Some of them also include the full disclaimer text on the home page
like http://incubator.apache.org/ode/. Some of them include both the
logo and the disclaimer text, like http://incubator.apache.org/xap and
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/.
Thanks, I was trying to see if I could get the incubator logo into the
navigation bar so that it shows up on
every page. I need to play with that a bit. I also wanted to try create
a footer or header that had the incubator text.
If I can't get that working in the next few days I will break down and
just paste it onto the home home.
2. The license has been added to the project.
There seems to be an emoticon from the "(i)" in the license text. You
could always link directly to
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0, although that would leave
your site. And I don't think this is necessary right now; but, as I
mentioned before, it would be nice to eventually link to something
that includes all the relevant licenses, as is required in the
distribution's LICENSE file.
Fixed on wiki - thanks, will publish in a bit.
3. I have created the people page. I used the Geronimo template and
modified a bit given our
incubator status. Please update your origination if you want it. I got
the list of names by working though
the achieve to see who has substantial contributed (definition of this
could be debated, but I just looked for
consistent list & code contributions). I also provided a section for
those that are contributing
but are not committers yet, or may chose not to become committers. Names
are in alphabetical order by first
name - just copied format from Geronimo. An then of coarse list our
mentors.
I realize that you are basing this on what Geronimo has done, but
personally, I think it's a bad idea to list the organizations on the
project's people page. Most people seem to want to know this on the
proposal, but I think it might send the wrong message to someone who
doesn't know much about Apache and is browsing the project's site.
It also seems to be a little tricky to me to decide which committers
to list. Unless a committer says they are no longer active or don't
want to be listed, I would think you should list them all. You could
keep a separate list of PPMC members (which were elected based on
their history as being the active committers).
Aside from getting the Incubator logo on the page (which I think
really does need to be done), all of this is just my personal
suggestion.
Thanks, on the last topic I was in two minds about how to do that so I
will start a new
thread on the topic with some additional questions I have. Glad to see
someone read my
note - I was hoping it would be discussed.
Regards
Carl.
