Right, at the link posted by Niall elsethread. The implications of that email snuck by me when it was posted -- it mentions DNS and email, but not websites. I guess I should have read it more closely. In any case, if a change in branding policy had been intended, that should have been made explicit. Since nothing has changed about the branding policy, what we have is an implementation issue, and we need to figure out what actions we will request of Infra to remedy it. > This does look to be at odds with the branding requirements but provided > that the podling is following other requirements e.g. clear use of > Incubating in the name, incubation disclaimer etc I don't see that the > IPMC necessarily needs to continue enforcing the subdomain requirement? We have 46 podlings honorably striving to become Apache projects, but they are not yet Apache projects, they are "incubating". If they don't like that distinction, they should hurry up and graduate. Measures which blur the distinction between podlings and TLPs and make life in the Incubator too comfortable are counterproductive. Incubation should be rigorous and short.
