Hello,
After a brief panic that I might have done something wrong I
remembered that I made the Apache Kato website
conform to the guidelines in the following webpage:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html
This requires podlings to include a disclaimer in their documentation
(your last point).
As for the feather, podling websites SHOULD include the incubator
project logo.
Do the existing guidelines in the webpage I cited seem sufficient for
everyone? Perhaps just a reminder is needed then.
Regards,
Stuart

IIUC, some of the points that were made below are currently your opinions not direct
mandates from the Incubator PMC. Podlings may not realize that and become frustrated as
we "work things out". I would hate to whipsaw the podlings as things gel.
I think that it would be good to state what the problem is that we're trying to
solve and how the currently published incubator web site rules do not
adequately address that problem. Once we have a set of rules that have been
voted in, then we can contact the individual PPMCs to inform them of the
changes.
I think that people need to be clearly informed that the podling and its
products are not official artifacts of the Apache Software Foundation. I think
it would be good to have some consistency in the appearance, content, and
placement of incubation disclaimers. I think that we can do this on web sites
and artifacts.
I like some of the points you make. I think we should have a standard incubation
"disclaimer" in the home page of all podling web sites. Having it on the
download page would be a good idea too.
Regards,
Alan

No disrespect, but I find this example unfounded. If you go to that
website, you see a _huge_ font (and a feather) that leaves absolutely
no room for interpretation that we're an Apache project. We have
links back to Apache on our main nav bar. We use the words "Apache
Shiro" together everywhere.
No quarrel with that.
My list included those that did not have *both* Apache and Incubator -
I see now that that was not clear.
We reference the Incubator and that we're
an incubator project in many places all over our website, especially
in the most obvious pages (download, etc).
But not on the home page, and the mention on the download page is
extremely brief.
I could not find a link back to the Incubator site.
Also, I certainly don't feel it should ever be an actual requirement
to include the feather in a logo - communities should be free to
choose whatever they like. Attribution to Apache and the Incubator
should be more than enough.
I did not intend to suggest that all logos should contain the feather,
but that the ASF feather logo and/or the Incubator logo should appear
on the main pages at least.
