Now that the release date for pharo is close, I propose to use the
following sintax for the pharo core products

PharoCore-x.y-#####-TagName.zip

where
x.y 
  is the version of pharo (0.1, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, etc)
##### 
  is the number of image release in that version (10449, 10450, 10451,
etc)
TagName
  is a tag for better explain some specific feature of the image
(closure, RELEASE, STABLE, beta, etc)

e.g.

For a normal daily release, say 10450, in the 0.1 branch:

PharoCore-0.1-10450.zip

For the image that has all tests in green:

PharoCore-0.1-10456-AllTestGreen.zip

For the image that it is the first stable 1.0:

PharoCore-1.0-10478-RELEASE_1_0.zip

For the next image with the NewCompiler code integrated, after the 1.0
release:

PharoCore-1.0-10490-NewCompiler.zip

For a subsecuent 1.1 release, that includes NewCompiler:

PharoCore-1.1-10511-RELEASE_1_1.zip

When, for example, 1.1 is the current branch, and 1.0 has fixes support
and a new emergency release for the old 1.0 branch:

PharoCore-1.0-10512-UPDATE_1.zip

Release for pharo 2.0:

PharoCore-2.0-10890-RELEASE_2_0.zip

Other fix in the 1.1 branch (brach 1.0 is out of support):

PharoCore-1.1-10915-UPDATE_1.zip

Notes: We can also reset the number in each mayor release (0.1, 1.0,
1.1, etc) so that the updates to the old supportes branches can be a
continuous. For example, the previous names would be (in the same order
of release as the examples above):

PharoCore-0.1-10450.zip

PharoCore-0.1-10456-AllTestGreen.zip

PharoCore-1.0-10001-RELEASE_1_0.zip

PharoCore-1.0-10002-NewCompiler.zip

PharoCore-1.1-10001-RELEASE_1_1.zip

PharoCore-1.0-10003-UPDATE_1.zip

PharoCore-2.0-10001-RELEASE_2_0.zip

PharoCore-1.1-10002-UPDATE_1.zip

etc

Also, the PharoCore-1.0-10001-RELEASE_1_0.zip would be a copy of the
last image of 0.1 branch (in this example
PharoCore-0.1-10456-AllTestGreen.zip)

But this is mostly estetic and can potentially confuse new users.

What do you think?
