I think is a good idea to have code names for the releases, but I'm not so sure about "cocktail names".

I'm also not sure if cocktail names are very catchy, may be we should go for a scheme that is commonly understood everywhere in the world (i personally don't know what different cocktails are out there). May be planets, elements of periodic table, different gems, etc. etc.

If everybody can understand it, then it's not a good code name ;) More seriously, I think it does not matter if people understand it or not. Personally I don't know what a Warty Warthog is, but if it raises curiosity in me and makes me dig it, then I'll learn something and everybody wins :) For me the cocktail thing is a good scheme because it has a story behind it.

The only other naming convention we have is skin names:

Also not so sure that should be decided just by the release manager

(there

is quite a small list of people that do releases)

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.
