I don't understand, are we accepting donations and letting people name releases? What's the point of a "name"? Don't get me wrong, I love the Toy Story release names for Debian Counter-counter-proposal 1: If we want to use this to raise awareness... Do what Vim does. If people want to donate

Seems like consensus is that this is a bad idea--as formulated. How about softening the proposal? Counter-proposal A: - Tweets, social media posts, changelog, etc. all use the number *only* - There is a single sentence in the release announcement email and blog post to the effect of "aka the X r

I'm a bit on the -1 side of things as well. Having two ways to refer to a release has always annoyed me with projects like Debian/Ubuntu. Granted they tend to use them a lot more interchangeably than Noah is suggesting, though I do wonder if it'd still lead to confusion. I think for the particular

I have a bit of a feeling, that the proposal is a bit misunderstood. Noah has written: "We'd mention the name in the release announcement and in the changelog. But otherwise, we'd continue to talk about releases using the release number." So we use the name for a CouchDB release solely for market

I agree that it can be confusing. Ubuntu is doing that, and even though I've been using it for almost a decade now (and thus follow its release cycles pretty closely), I'm still getting confused about their release names from time to time. Please make sure that our project won't run the risk of c

Also not a fan, its confusing and there’s an effort involved in coming up with a name, an artificial impediment to release cycles, and we have enough real ones. B. > On 27 Oct 2014, at 16:45, Jan Lehnardt wrote: > > I’m not a fan, but I won’t be in the way of this. > > Best > Jan > -- > >

Cool idea. RethinkDB does it very well: in additional they provide nice branding for each release. It worth to take a look on their experience. But to let it works, our releases should be sweet and featured - this would be hard with rapid releases policy. -- ,,,^..^,,, On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 4:

Hi folks, SUMMARY I'm currently working on the rewards for the CouchDB AdvocateHub. (See bottom of this email for a refresher.) One of the rewards I'd like to offer is the ability to "name" a CouchDB release. We'd mention the name in the release announcement and in the changelog. But otherwise,
