We just chose a naming scheme. Our previous one gave people the impression
that Debian came out with a new release every month, which was enough to make
anyone think we were flaky.
Hamm and Bo are code-names. The reasons we use them have to do with FTP
mirrors not responding well to moving directories containing 1GB of files.
We want to have a name like "bo" before 1.3 comes out, and only name it 1.3
once the release has been made. Back in the 1.0 development we called it
1.0 during development, and the non-working prototype ended up on an
Infomagic CD. Never again.
What is the seul project?
