I think that would be fine, except you will have to come up with a
name that is not "Apache Python Project". That is essentially a
trademark infringement and I know the Perl community doesn't like
the way we named Perl-Apache either. Java became Jakarta for the
same reason.
I wondered about the trademark issue.
How is it handled within the ASF if we coin a new name? Do we just come
up with a name and hope for the best or does the foundation need to
trademark it? For example I see that "Tomcat" and "Apache Tomcat" are
trademarked, but I don't see anything for Jakarta.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Jim
