Project websites
I have a couple of questions regarding the CloudStack project now under incubation. Citrix contributed the CloudStack project to ASF in April this year. Right now Citrix still runs a project website called cloudstack.org.
1. When shall we redirect cloudstack.org to the Apache project page? (e.g., http://incubator.apache.org/projects/cloudstack.html)
2. We will not be able to move everything (user forum, etc.) on cloudstack.org to the official Apache project page. After we setup the redirect can we move the old content on cloudstack.org to a new website hosted by Citrix? Are there any rules on how a third-party Apache project user site can be named?
Thanks for your help!
Sheng

Podlings don't usually use that status page as their homepage, I'd
expect cloudstack.org to redirect to
http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/ - the sooner the better IMO,
and in the meantime you could indicate at cloudstack.org that that
site is moving to apache.org soon.

See http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ - assuming the CloudStack
trademark is being donated to the ASF as part of incubation, "Citrix's
forums for Apache CloudStack" is fine as that makes it clear what is
what, whereas "Cloudstack user forums" would be confusing as it lets
people believe that those forums are official ASF forums.
Another aspect is the community fragmentation, if you send people to
outside forums instead of the Cloudstack users list, you might end up
with half the community in each place.
