Good points Terry! The sushi connection wasn't lost on me either.
Mostly, I think this whole discussion is just plain fun. Who names
software releases after fish??? Nobody. I like that.

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.

I'm kind of envious at the fun the Ubuntu folks have naming their
verisons: Feisty Fawn, Breezy Badger. Now, we wouldn't need to
alliterate, but it seems to me that a code-name for JSPWiki version 3
would be good.
Any thoughts? I'd suggest "Priha" if it weren't already taken.:)
As an alternative, I might suggest "Wolverine" -- because we're
slashing up the code-base, and in heroic fashion.
Granted, this isn't really a high priority, but I thought it might be
a fun exercise to brainstorm some ideas.
