Ok, I'll bite on the fish idea. Haddock is good. Also: mackerel and
scrod; how about calamari? :)
If we go the mollusk route, how about razor clam?
PS you've smelled wolverine?

I'd like to have something friendlier. Wolverines are nasty beasts
which don't smell too good (we've got them in the wild here, and
they're not very highly thought of.) [The Finnish word for
wolverine, 'ahma' is more descriptive, I think. It's a derivative
from the word meaning 'to devour'.]
How about:
* Bluejay : a cute bird, colourful (wishing for that new skin ;-)
* Lassie : We've got the dog logo as an alternative. And what's
friendlier than Lassie? (Though there might be some copyright issues
on this)
* Haddock: 'cos nobody *ever* codenames their releases after species
of fish. We could also try different species of mollusks.
* Shoggoth: You can never go wrong with the Mythos. Besides, we can
then have *really* cryptic comments which invoke curses and such
when read aloud.
* Alpha: Just to confuse the heck out of everybody. "So, you have a
beta release of an alpha release? Eh?"
* Three of Nine. 'nuff said to all dem trekkies out there. Though
then we have to release during 2009 or the joke goes stale.
* Sumea: The Finnish word for "fuzzy", designating the fact that
we've got no idea when this is ready...
Just some ideas off the top of my head waiting for the kid to fall
asleep...

I'm kind of envious at the fun the Ubuntu folks have naming their

would be good.
Any thoughts? I'd suggest "Priha" if it weren't already taken.:)
As an alternative, I might suggest "Wolverine" -- because we're
slashing up the code-base, and in heroic fashion.
Granted, this isn't really a high priority, but I thought it might be
a fun exercise to brainstorm some ideas.
