Re: [Zope3-Users] Selecting a code name

2006-02-07 Thread Martijn Faassen

Hi there,

Just to drop a note that I think a discussion about a potential brand 
name for Zope 3 is far less important than actually fixing our website 
and presenting Zope 3 (and Zope 2 for that matter) in a better way.


Perhaps we can better redirect our energies to that than to have long 
(but easy, as everybody can say something without having to do anything) 
discussions about something that in the end isn't going to matter that 
much.


Zope 3 already has a recognized brand as a rewrite of Zope 2 in the 
community - let's go with that.


A brandname won't help us a bit if we don't do anything with it to 
present it properly, so the website is primary again there too. If we 
suddenly all start to talk about Zope 3 Odyssey without updating our 
website I fear we'll end up looking like flailing around wildly to keep 
up instead, and confusing people more.


If we do manage to build a new website and are a good way done with it, 
*then* is the time to discuss possible branding options.


Regards,

Martijn

  well, how about Zope3, Reloaded for all the matrix fans out there? :)

 The idea of release code names adds a little spice.  Most people like
 spices on their food, so why not on their software too?  But the naming
 scheme really has to be based on the Tarzan series.  Jim's a Tarzan fan.

Okay, I am giving in on this. There is a three step process that will have to 
be fullfilled to assign a codename to the Zope 3.3 release.

1. Write a proposal that justifies the use of a codename. Announce it on 
zope3-dev asking for votes.

2. Ask for codename and.or codename scheme suggestions on this and the 
zope3-dev mailing list. Have the community vote on the suggestions.

3. Give me guidance on how to include and promote the codename when I make the 
releases.

Regards,
Stephan
