>Each version of Visual FoxPro (like most Microsoft products) select a codename that is used both internally at Microsoft and during the beta process before the product is officially announced and given a formal name. While the Fox team at Microsoft is actually working on the next version of VFP, we have yet to select a code name. Last time for VFP 7.0 we did a vote internally and the name which I had suggested "Sedona" was voted by the Fox team members. This time, I would like the Fox community to select the code name, or at least suggest some recommendations that we can pick from. I will list some previous code names below for reference along with a few suggested guidelines. I hope this thread is actively participated on and that members of the UT work together to come up with a codename that people agree on (not a huge list of random names). Try to actually use this thread to not only suggest codenames but to vote on them and work as a community to suggest the right one to the
>Fox team. I'll be monitoring the thread and chiming in as needed.

>As you can see, the early theme was Warner Brother cartoons, but now that AOL owns WB, I suggest we avoid those names. <s> The theme lately is either a city or some widely recognized landmark (a mountain or something). I will post a reply if anyone suggest a name that is already being use or has been used by other Microsoft product codenames. Another suggestion is to select a codename with one or two syllables, but not one with three or more because it is too much to say when it is spoken so frequently.


Hi Ken,

I'd go for VIPER. There are so many explanations possible that everyone might be able to find his bread there...
