Code names may be a funny addition, but please please don't completely replace the normal, universally understandable, mutually comparable numbers with some random strings that nobody can remember. +0 Alex On 08/11/2010 05:17 PM, Jerome Velociter wrote:
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.
