I don't think anyone thinks the site shouldn't exist, and there's several 
people that think it's a good idea and are willing to help out.

If he worked for Adobe as a full time person then they probably do own it. That 
may be an issue if you intend to reuse some of the examples on your site (and 
if the content is ever donated to Apache), although I do note they were CC 
licensed.

I think your good intentions are clear and are certainly not the issue here. 

Just be aware that the ASF view is that:
... "and please realize that the use of ASF trademarks in your domain names is 
generally not "nominative fair use." "[1]

That sounds like a good approach, but I'd suggest you have a backup domain name 
just in case trademarks decide it can't be used.

Thanks,
