Monkeys, 3.0 Stable is practically on your doorsteps now. Only one all-important question remains; what should we call it?
All the cool projects have pet names. Android does it, Ubuntu does it and I don’t even need a 3rd because the list is already awesome.
No rules! Let’s hear’em. Bonus points if you come up with a recurring theme.
Update: Survey closed. Winner is “Capuchin Prime”!
No one has mentioned ‘bananas’ here? Oh wait, no one has commented yet.
3.0 => Hanuman
Then you can decline next releases with any monkey name you want : gorilla, capuchin, …
I would simply use monkey names:
Silly Baboon
Crazy Capuchin
Lazy Marmoset
Sweet Gibbon
Pleasant Howler
Angry Macaque
Sleepy Mandrill
Lucky Proboscis
Running Pygmy
Noisy Macaque
Final Vervet
“Tested On Humans” ?
+1 for capuchin
monyet, kera or ketek = monkey in indonesian (the language spoken on the island java :p)

Always had a weak spot for “capuchins” and “gibbons” though…
why not just JME3, i don’t really see any point to naming each version, it sometimes makes it confusing, for example:
bob: I have JME "someName", what version do you have?joe: I have JME “someOtherName”… is mine better than yours???
nobody knows…
but a better situtation would be this:
bob: I have JME3, what version do you have?joe: I have JME4, so mine is more recent.
THE END
This! ^ ^
It’s not because Ubuntu and Android use build monikers that it should be done here. I’m not fond of this. In a similar way it makes me think of Firefox and their stupid idea of using a major version number for every goddamn release. It just adds more confusion than anything else.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but I don’t like this idea. Just use jME3.
On the other hand, for any subrelease or milestones I wouldn’t be against the idea of using a build name, but not for a release.
I guess default version number stay’s. If it’s like ubuntu, you are still installing “Ubuntu 12.1 ‘some project code’”
I’m still fond of Planet of the Apes character names… though I guess we’d run out faster than some other approaches.
its quite cool to get codenames 
so lets call it bambi

jme79: Codename “guard 3”
we could name them after “Costumes that Erlend has worn”… and then he just has to stay ahead of us.
So, JME3 “Manbug”
…has a nice ring to it.

jMonkeyEngine 3.0 “Ladybug”
@nehon said: I think it was a Ladybug costume... considering he was wearing lip stick.jMonkeyEngine 3.0 “Ladybug”
Pretty sure he claimed to be a manbug. @erlend, what say ye?
I heard what he claimed…But I know what I saw
I think “JMonkeyEngine Potatoe” is a great code name.
GORILLA 3D
