What if we start naming releases in addition to the normal version scheme. FlightGear 2.x.x , name could be some continued variation on a theme or something. I think that would be a nice middle ground, we keep a meaningful versioning scheme, and also get a catchy name for everyone. I've worked on p

I'm not a huge fan of rolling over into double digits though, unless you started with double digits to begin with. For example 1.09 to 1.10 is logical to me, but 1.9.1 to 1.10 is no

Traditionally it is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCHLEVEL, definately more than a patchlevel thing, and way more than minor, so either 1.10.x or 2.x.x if your following that standard. 1.10 feels weird, but not sure 2.x is warranted just yet. Could ditch all that and use dates ala ubuntu, making it what...like 12.
