Matt,
A simple suggestion on the name - that VCL be "transferred" to Apache.org and become the official project name. Current users of VCL already wrap their own identity around VCL. NC State would/could still use the qualified name NCSU VCL or NC State's VCL and others would/could do likewise. For example the Virginia group already calls their initiative Virginia VCL. I believe there are no specific acknowledgement requirements for use of apache.org software? Meaning that anyone could add a personalized qualifier or not and a root linkage statement (like powered by Apache.org's VCL) or not. Seems to me that providing a combined personal identifier and default root linkage mechanism would help, not hurt the Apache brand. What I can say is that this assessment is consistent with and supported by our experience to date. Sam -----Original Message----- From: Alan D.

Other than this http://www.apache.org/dev/project-names.html I don't think so. Regards, Alan
