Re: Incubator release announcements should have disclaimer?

[Xuanwo]

Hi Sebb,

I am from the OpenDAL project. We will update our email template for 
announcements to ensure that all future announcements have attached 
disclaimers. You can track this work at 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal/issues/3157.

Thanks!

Jira issues largely being ignored

[sebb]

There does not seem to be much attention given to Jira issues by
Incubator members.

There also are quite a few Jira issues that can be closed.

Re: Incubator release announcements should have disclaimer?

[sebb]

For example:

https://lists.apache.org/list?general@incubator.apache.org:lte=1M:Announce%20release

shows several recent announce emails, including:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/mod3g7fw695zbsl5cwgtl5okqj8khbvw
https://lists.apache.org/thread/9w6cj7lh217tpt04s8lng55b5n4spg1b
https://lists.apache.org/thread/rt4txnhvolm94r3hmrp0029p9mt5chsr

There are also some examples of emails with disclaimers:

What announcements do you refer to here? Can you elaborate a bit perhaps

Incubator release announcements should have disclaimer?

[sebb]

As the subject implies: surely announcements of Incubator releases
should include a prominent Incubation disclaimer?

There have been some recent ones without:
OpenDAL
Wayang
Devlake
Paimon
Pekko

The releases are tagged with Incubating, but that is unlikely to mean
much to 3rd parties.

Re: [DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

[tison]

Hi,

About the project name and trademark, according to the trademarks@ reply,

> It is possible to use such a name on the understanding that obtaining a
> trademark for it is likely to be a more difficult (and longer) process.

So it's viable and I also inform the initial committers to think of the
pros and cons.

Let's say we don't have a blocker here but potential trade-offs. Apache
Arrow can be
a compare whose name is also a common word, and the community built up the
brand recognition so the name is associated with the project.

Best,
tison.

Re: [DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

[Willem Jiang]

Hi PJ,

Thanks for the reply,  I will talk to the team and find out if we can
figure out a better name for it.
I raised the same question when I first heard about the name, but it's
hard for the team to give up the product word they already have
without a solid objection.

Re: [DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

[Sheng Wu]

I just read the answer from the trademark team.
It would be nice to ask the initial team to discuss the cons and pros,
especially regarding trademark registration issues and search hits.
Both are important for a project.

HI,

We’ve already asked trademarks the question if the project can use the name. 
For the answer, see [1]

Re: [DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

I sent an email query for feedback on the trademark when sending this proposal.
Let's see the feedback from the trademark VP.
By the way, The Apache Arrow project[1] may hit the same situation as
a common word.

Re: [DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

[Andrew Wetmore]

Moreover, the functions of the app seem to be not just 'answer', but also
'ask' and 'discuss', with the real goal of community-building. So any
variant of Answer for the product name would be a little misleading.

Re: [DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

[PJ Fanning]

For me, Answer is a problematic name. We're trying to move away from
relying on the Apache brand name so project names ideally should work
with or without the Apache name. Answer does not work as a brand on
its own, it depends on being Apache Answer to make it seem like a
brand. I'm not saying that we should stop calling our projects Apache
XYZ yet but I just think the XYZ needs to work as a standalone project
name too. Even something like 'Answer Platform' and 'Apache Answer
Platform' might make the name more specific. Imagine trying to search
online for 'Answer'. There are more than 14 billion matches on Google.

Hi

I have a question for the mentors, do you check whether this general
word, `Answer` is an acceptable project name for the foundation?

Hi,

It looks interesting at first glance. I will do a new pass on the

[DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal of Answer

[Willem Jiang]

We want to propose  Answer as a new Apache Incubator project.

Answer[1] is a question-and-answer (Q) platform software for teams
at any scale to build a help center, knowledge base, community forum,
etc.
The key features of Answer:
1. Questions and Answers - Ask questions and get answers from your
users and team.
2. Content Organization and Management - Organize your content with
flag, moderation, and permission.
3. Content Management - Manage topics and discussions in the community
with tags.
4. Reputation - Reward users for their contribution: answer, verify,
and upvote correct info. Always keep the information up-to-date.

I'd be happy to be the Champion of this project, and may Thanks to
Zili Chen ， Justin Mclean , and Christofer Dutz   for mentoring
the answer project and helping us polish the incubating proposal[2].

The word answer is a generic name, and trademarking it is impossible.
But if we add the prefix of Apache, it could be more reasonable to
use.  I look forward to your feedback and thank you for your help.
