Help in choosing a code name for the 1.0 skin
Hi everyone, In preparation for the 1.0 release we need to rename the current skin which is wrongly named xwiki10b1... I think the best is to not have any version in the name and choose a code name. So here's a challenge to find the best name for the current 1.0 skin (the one used by http://xwiki.org). Shoot! Thanks -Vincent
My suggestion for the skin code name is "dove".

Nice one... I hope we don't remove the doves in the future though ... ;-) Or we could make it more cryptic like Dovia (IntelliJ IDEA have code names like this: Selena, Demtra, Ariadna, etc) ;-) Any other suggestion? Thanks -Vincent

I think I prefer the plain Dove idea over the cryptic version. Maybe name skins after birds in general (and change the picture to use shadows of the appropriate bird)? Emu, kiwi, grasswren, condor, warbler, etc Paul

That's a good idea, I like it. Thanks -Vincent
I think it's a good idea too. JV. 2007/3/7, Vincent Massol <vincent@massol.net>:

Me too; lots of opportunity for droll comment, although it would be more effective if the name were applied after the community had experience with it - I can imagine Kestrel, Redtail, Condor for the better ones; Dodo, Pigeon, Albatross, Booby for ugly, poorly-performing, or overly-large ones; Sparrow, Finch, Wren for lightweight ones... what would be the characteristics of one named Crow, or Turkey?... without venturing into the mythical, such as the Thunderbird, or the Piasa Bird (a local phenomenon, from a primitive painting on the cliffs on the eastern shore of the Mississippi, attributed to the Piasa tribe, which looks rather like a griffin) or my favorite, Thunder Chicken... That opens one possibility that should be carefully reserved for one especially lovable version: the tuxedo-clad, flightless arctic variety... brain[sic]
