+1 Cause IMHO it increases the public perception and helps marketing
-1 Cause it tends to confuse ... do you still can relate all Eclipse releases:
Galileo, Callisto, Europa, Ganymede, Helios ?
As Confucius would say: "choose wisely" ;-)

Betreff: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Code names for XWiki release cycles
Hello friends,
I would like to propose introducing the use of code names for each release cycle of XWiki
(2.x, 3.x, etc.), using a agreed-on scheme (a la Ubuntu [1]). The main reason behind this
proposal is that :
A. it's groovy :)
B. there is no B.
As for the code name scheme, with regard to recent events involving a fair portion of the
XWiki Development team [2], I would like to propose the use of cocktail names as code
names. Some examples - for the sake of illustration : XWiki "Cuba Libre" 2.5,
XWiki "White Russian" 2.6, XWiki "Bloody Mary" 3.0, etc. you name it!
[3]. Virgin cocktails tolerated :)
The release manager for each cycle would have the honor to pick up the release code name.
Isn't that an awesome incentive ?
+1 for all that
Jerome.
