ENOWHIMSY Even if we don't like the specific implementation discussed here (it's very similar to what Ubuntu does, but I suggest we stay away from the asinine alliterative adjectives) there are plenty of ways to take this same concept and make it less whimsical. I've known other programs (Matlab being an example near and dear to my heart) that used the year in the name: 2009r1 .. 2009r12, 2010r1, ... We could also tack on patch numbers and other stuff like 2009r5.01 or whatever we want. I'm not necessarily recommending this scheme, but it is an example of chromatic's idea with years instead of alphabetical names. In any case, I think we definitely should ditch the X.Y.Z scheme since it just doesn't fit our release model in any sense. --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
