Hi,
I am a student of Computer Science UFBA - Brazil, and share the
documentation list for a long time because I am developing a project
that involves the Apache HTTP Server Documentation.
I don't know if the discussion of these changes in nomenclature of the
server is open to everyone or just to you who work directly with the
documentation, but I make a suggestion.
It can be defined at the beginning of documentation, in a relevant
local, that "Apache HTTP Server" refers to the server as a whole,
including all its processes (httpd, apachectl, etc.) and "httpd" refers
to the process explicitly, or could be used only "httpd" for two, with a
different markup to distinguish when referring to the server and when it
refers to the process.
I think that use only the term "Apache 2" would lead to the belief that
"Apache 1" or simply "Apache" refers to the first version of the server.
Anyway, this is just a suggestion, so excuse any inconvenience.
Regards,

We are unlikely to ever completely fix this in the public

the program is "httpd", the "Apache HTTP Server". If you could

to identify "Apache" abuse throughout the documentation and web
pages, and
transform those to "httpd" for shorthand, that would be a huge help.
I am still confused over when "Apache HTTP Server" and when "httpd".
Is the former just a baby step to the latter?
I wanted to do a mass sed of s/Apache 2/Apache HTTP Server 2/g, but if
"Apache HTTP Server" is only the marginally less confusing term I
didn't want the unnecessary churn.
("Apache 2" just happens to get a lot of hits and is a pretty safe
expression)
What I ahve been trying to do is to use 'Apache HTTP Server (httpd)'
at the beginning of a document, and 'httpd' thereafter. Perhaps
Noirin can tell us what we should be doing here.
Also, should we be using particular markup, such as
<code>httpd</code>, to refer to the server?
