Citrix CloudStack product vs. Apache CloudStack project technical
documentation
Assuming that the next CloudStack release occurs simultaneously within the Citrix product family and in the Apache project, we will need to create both open-source and commercial versions of CloudStack Install Guides, Release Notes, etc. (see http://bugs.cloudstack.org/browse/CS-14860).
The project and product have not yet diverged much, so we probably just change the product name, logo, and copyright statement. From discussions so far, it seems like the following will be used for the open-source project docs:
* Apache CloudStack
* Feather (and mascot<http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/COMM/CloudStack+mascot+proposals> if available)
* CC-BY-SA
Please let us know if there are any comments about this approach.

Thank you Jessica and Wido for triggering a conversation on CloudStack documentation.
I would like to add to what Jessica was discussing here. We, documentation team, are inviting potential documentation contributors from the community. What we are looking for is a couple of documentation enthusiasts who can diligently review our documentation for the Apache CloudStack project. We can completely make use of the IRC facility for any discussions around documentation reviews. Probably, we can also plan regular Apache documentation project meeting over IRC.
What we can offer you back is a byline (credit line) for your contributions and a solid documentation for Apache CloudStack Documentation.
Let's hear your voice...
Regards
-Radhika

The intent of my note was to put forth the intended project name, logo, and copyright which will be used for documentation within the Apache project called CloudStack. I suppose the fact that it will differ from the Citrix commercial version was a "red herring" which distracted from the point of the note. Sorry about that.

The Apache project will only focus on the Open Source version where the "commercial" version with separate documentation is something that is up to Citrix, am I right?
Or did I read this e-mail wrong?
