Yes there was already documentation.

  thats why I took the time and worked on this docs.
  I extracted the information from the old Jira issues.

 Thanks.

   And BTW infra experience tells me info about execuding the PNS
   process (PODLINGNAMESEARCH) should live on www.a.o/foundation/marks/,
   but that might be an issue for another patch.
 
  Its PODLING name search. Because of this name I was looking in the
  incubator docs first.
  As long as it is not named NAMESEARCH only I think it belongs to the
  incubator.

 If you have a semantic argument (eg: why shouldn't Apache Steve have
 been expected to run a name search at some point) I'll be glad to hear it.

Which is where?
I did this work because I cannot find the docs, not just because i
have fun doing it.

You could also provide a better wording if you are not happy with what I did.

afaik Apache Steve didn't go through the incubator, right?

Probably thats why they didn't do a name search:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20PODLINGNAMESEARCH

I do not know if there is a policy for non-incubating
projects/products to do a podlingnamesearch. If there is one, it makes
certainly sense to rename the PODLINGNAMESEARCH into NAMESEARCH, move
my docs out to a better place (trademarks) and communicate the policy
to the projects (I didn't know much about podlingnamesearch until last
week - I  know a few people who all thought it would be a lazy
consensus thing).

That said, this is something which needs to be discussed on
trademarks. And it will take some time for which i do not have the
cycles right now.

My goal is to document what i have learned now in the hope it is of
help to other podlings which need this information.

Are you fine with my commit or do you first want to start discussing
at trademarks?

Cheers
Christian

In short: I think your text is good but belong on
www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ rather than on the incubator docs.

I'll reply on private lists with more detail
