>I've been trying all day to think of a good Star Wars related name...you know to keep up with all the Trek related codenames. Best I could think of "Obi-Wan". VFP is a mature, stable language that can learn new tricks just like Obi-Wan was old and wise in the Original Trilogy.

>>>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

>>>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.
