[xwiki-users] Help in choosing a code name for the 1.0 skin

[THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI)]

Me too; lots of opportunity for droll comment, although it would be more
effective if the name were applied after the community had experience
with it - I can imagine Kestrel, Redtail, Condor for the better ones;
Dodo, Pigeon, Albatross, Booby for ugly, poorly-performing, or
overly-large ones; Sparrow, Finch, Wren for lightweight ones... what
would be the characteristics of one named Crow, or Turkey?... without
venturing into the mythical, such as the Thunderbird, or the Piasa Bird
(a local phenomenon, from a primitive painting on the cliffs on the
eastern shore of the Mississippi, attributed to the Piasa tribe, which
looks rather like a griffin) or my favorite, Thunder Chicken...

That opens one possibility that should be carefully reserved for one
especially lovable version:  the tuxedo-clad, flightless arctic
variety...
