Proposal for ALL future release naming conventions #72

Closed RussW closed 4 years ago

RussW commented 4 years ago

There's been a lot of discussion over the time about naming of pre~releases etc etc...

I'd like to suggest/propose that we assigned a single person to provide "names" as we go forward (ignoring and overriding the current naming convention used in the 2020-UI-Facelift development, I just made that up to differentiate the branch from the older dev branches and have absolutely no care nor concern for it)

@mandville and your dog, would you be willing to be the lead with this? Whatever you two come up with, for whatever reason, is the name of future releases and we simply use "development" as any interim name until the dog has approved the official name.

Unless you desire, we don't have to stick to a theme or methodology, just an interesting name...

i vote for names purely for the retro geek aspect, the dog would probably vote to drop the name, and if thats the case we can get arbitration from the guinea pigs or fish. naming so far has been next alphabet letter with a weird humorous transliteration of the a suitable word eg kusala - balaned in budhism midden - irish for rubbish pile rhytidectomy - latin for facelift working on basis that version x is a total faceliftr we could drop the naming

Here is a list (in alphabetical order) of names:

Artemis Balder Cronos Demeter Enlil Forseti Gaia Hermes Iris Janus Kvasir Loki Morpheus Nike Odin Phosphorus Quetzalcoatl Rhea Saturn Triton Uzume Vulcan Wakahiru-me Xippilli Yamato Zeus

As I wrote in another place, I feel that a name should be chosen when starting work on a change and not after completing that work.

RussW commented 4 years ago

Sorry @sozzled didn't see that list was elsewhere.

So the two current proposals are:

For me (RussW), I'm happy with either, 1) or 2) makes no odds, go with the majority.

sozzled commented 4 years ago

I don't care if people use codenames (internally within the source code, during development, for a work-in-progress) or not. I prefer that, when a product is released, the internal working name is not displayed.

FWIW, nearly all medical terms are based on Greek. Rhytidectomy is Greek.
