Hello everybody,
Generally, I favor code names.
As mflorea said, a distinct code name for each release would be quite too much.
Just because I enjoy the sound of this, I would like to hear of a different (and simpler)
naming convention, e.g. having a base release code name and some sort of
"suffix" for each major one.
On another note, I do approve of playfulness, but in a nerdish kind of way :)
This is my kindof +1, as long as we further discuss this and reach a conclusion that
satisfies everyone.
Thank you,
Dan

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.
