Sorry to be so slow on responding to this. I've been watching the naming discussion and had some negative vibes that I couldn't put my finger on - until just now.
First, I am an Ubuntu user, and quite frankly, the names are confusing. I can never keep track of a sequence made up of names (rather than versions). Second, the focus on fish names conjures up these thoughts: prey for others, followers not leaders, not terribly smart, short lived, perishable and - worst of all - smelly. None of these are characteristics that I associate with JSPWiki (nor would want others to). Please understand that I myself am a fish lover (to eat, that is). And I am not good at all the creative work needed to come up with names (and, as mentioned above, am not sure of their value). And I'm very late in making this comment (but, maybe better late than never?) I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but thought I'd throw out these notions anyway.
