And my big question: if we are allowed to do this, I think I read somewhere that we aren't allowed to refer to the project as Apache PhotArk yet because we are still a podling. What is the proper way to refer to the podling?

You are right, that we still need to get people interested in going
and reading the content of the page (which is the hard part I guess
for a lot of podlings)... but in the end, I guess this is one more
place that could be reached by a search and provide some PhotArk
related content.

:) I don't think so.... What I wanted to make sure is that there is no
issues if a project member wants to start advertising or reaching out
using these new social tools that are so popular these days...
