breautek opened a new issue #1200:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/issues/1200


   From a recent PMC email notice:
   
   >IMPORTANT: PMCs who list "powered by" companies on their Project sites 
(organizations that are using your project --in their products/solutions or 
otherwise) MUST NOT BE DOING SO ON THE PROJECT HOME PAGE.
   
   >WHY: the ASF is strictly vendor-neutral. Listing company names and/or logos 
on a project's home page is disallowed as it can imply "ownership" or preferred 
status or otherwise imbalanced relationship. Whether this is the case or not, 
it is not acceptable. The policy is the same as "thanking" companies for their 
support of a project http://apache.org/foundation/marks/linking#projectthanks
   
   >WHAT WE'RE NOT SAYING: please don't misunderstand the "no third party logos 
on your homepage" policy. We *love* projects promoting their users! Many of you 
have commented that we always include user organizations in our press releases 
--one of the first things that members of the media and analyst community ask 
is, "who uses you?". We're proud of all our projects and your collective 
efforts: we want to ensure that everyone is being fairly represented and 
considered.
   
   Cordova is explicitly listed as an offender of this policy. I believe both 
"Cordova Tools" and "Cordova App Showcase" are the problematic sections.
   
   As outlined in the email, having these sections is okay, but they must not 
be on the homepage.
   
   So the question is do we keep it, and if so, where do we move it? Sally does 
encourage having this "who uses us" list, so i think it is a good idea to keep 
it, we just need to decide where is the best place to move it.
