Correct way of referring to Groovy
A post of the other day made me think about this (Russel's to blame as
usual). What is the correct to referring to Groovy in documentation now?
Is it Groovy or is it Apache Groovy?
OR
Is it Groovy for releases prior to 2.4 and Apache Groovy for 2.4 and
beyond?

I'm thinking Super Groovy
Maybe Friggin Groovy.
Major Groovy? Perhaps Captain Groovy? Ooooh Dr Groovy.
Disco Groovy :)

Yes that's fine, as long as you acknowledge trademarks as per
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs.html.

Thus in a book you may refer to it early in the beginnning as Apache
Groovy, but then mention that anywhere else use of Groovy implies Apache
Groovy?

This is in place, of course, to make sure that the PMC remains in control of the product, and nobody can become confused by somebody else calling their version “ZeCo Groovy” or similar.
Documentation, I think should pretty much follow the “Website” guidelines, so in brief, there should be a prominent mention of “Apache Groovy”, but referring to it as just “Groovy” in other places in the page is fine.
Cheers,
Greg Trasuk.
