What's that name?

What ever happened to Sunfox??

'Sunbird?'

I dunno. I think it'll need at least three or four name changes before 1.0 gets released... :P

It is what IT is.

But is it what is it?

My $.2 (or is it $2.0?)

[KRzBZ]

1) Release early Beta, numbered .2
2) Wait for overeager slashdot submitter to make typo, bumping version a factor of 1.8
3)???
4)Profit!

Damn that was quick!

I just got .2 last night.. Already up to 2.0!

Sounds like someone was bored last night and couldn't sleep :)

That depends on what your definition of "is" is.

It's waiting for the letter from Pontiac saying, "Dudes, wtf is with naming all your software after our cars?"

They'll probably rename it to Sunfire before moving on to Sunfox and I can't wait for the Mozilla standalone download manager: GTO.

Goatbird and Firegoat are really going to suck though.

Will it let me set an appointment for December 3rd by typing "M-e C-f M-e C-f C-f C-f i d Important Meeting C-x C-s"? Will it tell me when sunset will be in Dublin, Georgia exactly forty-seven weeks from today when I type ". C-u 47 C-n S -82.9 RET +32.33 RET"? Will it schedule a monthly appointment on the fifth day of every month of the Hebrew lunar calendar when I type "g h RET Tishri RET 5 RET i h m It's the fifth day of the month! C-x C-s"?

I'll be sticking with the Emacs calendar, thanks.

Comments from the future!

Dude, Moonchicken .4 is out!

Hey, did you hear Marsdove .5 is out?

Whoa, Son of MoonChicken .6 is out already?

I really don't like the default theme in Helioavian .7.

Crap, Venuspigeon .8 keeps crapping all over my system.

What do you mean your organization isn't Denny's SuperChicken .8b compatible? What about FordFalcon .7RC2?

Finally SunFireBirdThing 1.0 is released!

Re:Apple and Mozilla are both missing the point...

CorporateTime is awesome. We still use it where I work, although I'm a little worried that it's in Oracle's hands now. In a year we'll have a version of CorporateTime that is impossible to install without logging a TAR, installing fifty bazillion patches, and tweaking twenty kernel parameters.
