I've been wondering about the best approach for a while... The legal side makes writing assistance tricky. (Publishing anything which a court might later take to be advice would not be wise.) One motivation in moving this task to JIRA is that then podlings could learn inductively without the need for high quality general documentation on trademark searches. (IMHO if the Incubator needs this then we should approach the board to engage legal resources to produce it for us.) But I'd be very happy to hear alternative ideas :-) Robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
