I like it. <ot> The IBM Gearbox (http://www.meco.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=7938) was a heavily hyped PC based product for industrial applications back in the 1990s. But I don't think they will mind if we liberate the name and apply it to a more noble purpose. </ot> Dave |

I think the codename should honor Eliot in some manner. How about naming it "Eliot" ? "From Cog to Spur" -- we need a snappy codename that makes sense for |

While I share your intent, I think we should refrain from code-naming our releases after people.

My idea was Ratio, when I looked at the subject. Since gear ratios are a thing, and we do fractions well, I thought it might be cute.
Then I read down to Gear Box. That made me think of Music Box, too. Anyway I think Gear Box is pretty good. Ratio is more optimal, however, by a number of bytes;) --C > On Mar 6, 2015, at 12:24 PM, Chris Muller <[hidden email]> wrote: > > "From Cog to Spur" -- we need a snappy codename that makes sense for > this release.

A pun on Spur that implies the inflection and splitting of 4.6 from 5 in the move to the Spur object representation would be "Saddle".
