My votes for 3.0:

1. Haddock (fish-n-chips FTW!)

for 3.1:

1. Albacore (sushi FTW!)

Scrod actually is sometimes haddock (though mostly cod), so it's not strictly speaking a species and does not qualify ;-)

Yes, that's right. We vote for our favorites from this list. I forgot
to add my personal favorite, "Flounder" (for 3.0).

So, consider this an official request for a vote for the JSPWiki 3.0
and 3.1 code-names. Please indicate your TOP THREE choices for both
3.0, and separately, for 3.1.

The rules: A first-choice vote counts for 3; second-choice counts for
2; and third-choice counts for 1. The fish with the most points wins.
This is a little different than normal Apache voting rules, but that
should be ok because it's not a yes/no question.

Haddock
Mackeral
Scrod
Yellowfin
Albacore
Blackfin
Bigeye
Flounder
Calamari
______ (your write-in candidate)

I'll hold my votes back until a few others vote, so as not to pollute
the experiment.

So we vote on one of these? Sounds good :-). We should then probably also
have a separate vote for 3.1...

Going with the previous theme (fish), how does this short-list look?
If it looks complete, we could call for a vote on it. :)

Haddock
Mackeral
Scrod
Yellowfin
Albacore
Blackfin
Bigeye
Calamari

Reads like a sushi menu, doesn't it?

Ok, I'll bite on the fish idea. Haddock is good. Also: mackerel and
scrod; how about calamari? :)

How about species of tuna? From Wikipedia:

There are eight tuna species in the Thunnus genus:

  * Albacore, Thunnus alalunga (Bonnaterre, 1788).
  * Yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788).
  * Blackfin tuna, Thunnus atlanticus (Lesson, 1831).
  * Southern bluefin tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Castelnau, 1872).
  * Bigeye tuna, Thunnus obesus (Lowe, 1839).
  * Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis (Temminck & Schlegel,
1844).
  * Northern bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758).
  * Longtail tuna, Thunnus tonggol (Bleeker, 1851).

Species of several other genera (all in the family Scombridae) have
common
names containing "tuna":

  * Skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis (Linnaeus, 1758)
  * Slender tuna Allothunnus fallai (Serventy, 1948)
  * Bullet tuna Auxis rochei (Risso, 1810)
  * Frigate tuna Auxis thazard (Lacepede, 1800)
* Kawakawa (little tuna or mackerel tuna) Euthynnus affinis (Cantor,
1849)
* Little tunny (little tuna) Euthynnus alletteratus (Rafinesque, 1810)
  * Dogtooth tuna Gymnosarda unicolor (Rüppell, 1836)
  * Black skipjack tuna Euthynnus lineatus (Kishinouye, 1920)
  * Derek Donegan tuna Euthynnus lineatus (Atrane, 1988)

The current version of Ceryle is "skipjack" and I'm planning to
change it to dogtooth, yellowfin, bluefin, or something...

Obviously needs to be short and one word...
