+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.
