Naming things

[Markus Weimer <ma...@weimo.de>]

Hi,

we have a great many initiatives currently in flight. Fault tolerance
for IMRU, REEF on CoreCLR and REEF as a library are only a few that
come to mind. Which made me wonder: would it help to name things with
flashy project names? In terms of a naming scheme, I was wondering
whether the various reefs in the Great Barrier Reef can provide
inspiration?

WDYT?

From project management perspective, people like to set mile stones and give names. It could be world famous city names, or something like Odyssey, or meaningful name that related to the nature of the work. It is good for presentation. 

To our developers, we know what we are doing :).

Hi Mariia,

It typically makes it easier when we talk externally about it. I think people like and remember these names more easily as compared to other things :)

What would it help with? I don't think I'd feel any different about, say, fault tolerance work if it was called "Project Enhydra"* instead :-)

*genus of mammals to which sea otters belong
