So, can I safely assume that Indiana means Sun's OpenSolaris present and 
future binary distribution releases? OpenSolaris 2008.11 can be 
addressed as Indiana 2008.11 and we would have Indiana 2009.05 after 
that? I completely understand that "OpenSolaris" itself is the official 
trademark for the distribution. However it may be informally addressed 
as Indiana?

I particularly am not bothered whether we call it Indiana or something 
else. I just want to know what it would be called going forward. I am 
raising this mainly because of the confusion in making search engine 
optimizations by using relevant keywords, whether it be in blog posts or 
it be in how-to sort of documents.

PS: If we weren't motivated to make up another name, what is Jericho?

Thanks -
