And we can always think of a scheme for codenames, and have that scheme be the theme for perl6. Hmm, if perl5 was the Camel in the desert, perhaps perl6 should adopt a coral reef/Caribbean/tropical theme. Component and release names like: Bermuda (perhaps name 6.0, 6.2, etc. after countries?) Umbrella (from the drinks) Tan Coral Clown Fish Anemone (guaranteed that 20% of people will be able to spell it) Nautilus Crown of Thorns Atoll This iconography has many plus sides: marketing: it is a more positive image than the Camel travel: much more fun to organize a perl6 conference in the Bahamas creative: lots of interesting names to pick from vivid: lots of good images for book covers and t-shirts NatThread Previous | Thread Next
