A page that lists projects / companies that use Dubbo is fine but: - you should use no-follow links - those links should not be on the project homepage The rationale is that we don't want to devalue what we offer our sponsors in terms of logo placement, recognition, etc. while at the same time we do want projects to be able to demonstrate how/where they are used. <snip/> >>> 5.

May need another discussion if we need to register it. +1. You should think about completing the podling name search. While it isn't required for graduation, if the outcome is that a rename is required (unlikely but the podling name search will confirm that) then you want to know sooner rather than later. Registration is something to consider post graduation. >>> 6. Do we have official logo for Dubbo?
