[eclipse.org-planning-council] Re: Naming the train,,,

[Oliver E Cole <oec@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  I just responded to this in the bug entry.

  As I stated there, I am not wed to an H prefix, but it does have an 
advantage of ordering the trains both backward and forward.

  Also, it would be different if there was a great name that was 
proposed, rather than spending time discussing whether an H prefix is 
necessary.  I think it would be more productive if people suggested 
specific great names......

 As I said in the bug, I will resend the mass emails and solicit great 
names and then throw it up for a doodle poll.  I will not restrict the 
name choices to H*, and then we can let the doodle poll guide the final 
choice.

 Ian, what is the calendar deadline for picking the name?
