Seems like this question comes up once for every two or three new writers/editors who join the Docs effort. The most recent thread on it is from last month. http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-docs/2015-June/006796.html To summarize my understanding: 1. You should just avoid using project codenames in documentation, in favor of official project names (e.g., use Compute rather than nova) whenever possible. 2. There are concerns that capitalized use of project codenames makes them more likely to present a high-profile/infringing target for intellectual property (trademark, et cetera) claims. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
