I think code names work best when release cycles are long. Ubuntu is released twice a year. That means 7 code names since 2007 when I started using it. I hardly remember these code names, but I know I started with 7.04. We release 4 major versions of XWiki Enterprise in a year (and we want more). Soon we'll have lots of code names and they will be useless in identifying our previous releases. +0 for using code names +0 for cocktail naming scheme (I think we can find something better) -0 for random code names (e.g. random cocktail names, see Anca's comment) Thanks, Marius > > 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.
