Product name on the new website

First of all, thanks to everybody involved in the website migration, it 
was a huge task and the vast majority of pages seems to have been 
migrated just fine.

What should we use as a product name on http://www.openoffice.org/it/ 
and related pages?

Shall we just keep the "OpenOffice.org" name (without Apache) until 
there is some public beta of an Apache-branded product? Shall we change 
the name to "Apache OpenOffice"? I would avoid to replace all 
occurrences with the cumbersome "Apache OpenOffice[.org] (incubating)" 
except for a few of them.

Thanks,
   Andrea.

According to the "Incubator Branding Guide" [1] we must use the full
name "upon the first reference in a document".

So I think it would be fine to call it "Apache OpenOffice (incubating)
once on each page.  And then you can use the short form "OpenOffice"
in the other parts of the page.

I think we want to avoid using "OpenOffice.org" except when we are
specifically referring to historical information, e.g., referring to
prior legacy releases or the history of the project.
