Project Name Change
There has been some discussion on the Apache Incubator mailing list about podling (which we are) branding. There details are now pretty much laid down and are documented here:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html
So, it appears according to this that we've reached the point in the incubation process were the project should be called "The Apache Open For Business Project" or "Apache OFBiz". We also need to mention in marketing materials and such a statement like the following:
Apache OFBiz is currently undergoing Incubation at the Apache Software Foundation.
We're going to start moving things in this direction with the newer materials and such, and everyone doing things related should follow the same pattern.

That would be _after_ incubation. Apache OFBiz isn't quite that official yet...

That should be fine. However, after incubation, the preferred URL
will be http://ofbiz.apache.org

looks like things are falling in place.
For now can we still use the www.ofbiz.org as the point to redirect to
apache, so don't have to change URLs till we move out of incubator?
