@Nick,

Ross offered to come to the AOOi PPMC to fix it.  I'm not clear what the PPMC 
has to do with it.

Specifically, @TheASF is not of AOOi PPMC origin.  The question is, who is 
expected to do something about that and how is it to be communicated to them?  
Someone else is responsible for those tweets and their aggregation on the ASF 
home page.

Also, you refer to a blog post by Rob Weir on his own site.  It is true that 
Rob Weir is a member of the AOOi PPMC, but that blog site is not a product of 
the AOOi PPMC and its aggregation into Roller is no different than the 
aggregation of any Apache committer posts that a committer arranges to include 
in the feed picked-up by Roller.  (I believe the PPMC did authorize that "Get 
it Here" image and link to be used by sites that wanted to promote the 
availability of the software.  If there should have been greater formality 
before doing that, there are places to raise that specific problem.)

My concern is how to determine what the infractions are that someone can do 
something about and also being clear who that someone is expected to be.  The 
general claim just has us running around like headless chickens over on ooo-dev.

PS: I'm now in time-penalty and will check back anon.

So what appears on www.apache.org doesn't matter?

Nor what appears on planet.apache.org, featuring the article that first struck 
me
as using the name in a way I wouldn't expect when I read it in my feed reader:
http://www.robweir.com/blog/2012/06/pache-openoffice-34-downloads.html

I should think so, but that's just me!

If the guidelines are unclear then maybe they need reviewing?
I was just pointing out usage that seems at odds with my understanding
of the incubator rules.

If a blog gets aggregated, then readers will see what appears in their
aggregator, as I did.  That's without the context of the page title in your 
link!
