Since it seems that the apacheopenoffice.org domain was registered just days after the announcement of the Apache OpenOffice.org podling, is it reasonable that we can get it transferred to the project? Even though I recognize that the previous suggestions are the most natural ones, settling on a name that corresponds to a domain not affiliated with the project could be misleading. The project will surely use the apache.org and openoffice.org domains, but securing apacheopenoffice.org is important to avoid confusion/misuse. > So in summary, I like the shorter name "Apache OpenOffice" better than > "Apache OpenOffice.org".

Actually, the word "Apache" gets in the way, since this will seem like a variant of OpenOffice.org (like "OpenOffice.org, Apache edition"). But proper communication will be key here. Regards, Andrea.
