I love the concept, but, ever a stickler for correct terminology, Benson (who, need I remind you, Is General Antilles! ) recommends:
  • Widget
  • App
  • Shell
  • Shared library
  • Kernel

I say let everyone put whatever title they want after they have passed a level that they are no longer a newbie. Say 50+ posts? That way I could change my name to "Mega Troll that doesnt know anything really, but posts every now and again anyway, usually drunk when doing so". Best Title Ever!

Or even "What the hell is a Mechanical Engineer doing here?"

Besides it would be alot more fun. Or like once a month you get to pick a fellow forum member to change your title? That could be very interesting indeed (no profanities allowed of course.....)!

Haha, nice! See, now how much fun would it have been if qole had sent you a request for you to give hima title and you gave him that? Endless amounts of fun and good times!

Actually, I hold the copyright to the "usually drunk when doing so" part. Anyone who is currently using it should remove it immediately.

OK, how about:
  • Mistral
  • Scirocco
  • Gregale
  • Bora
  • Chinook
  • Diablo
  • Fremantle
  • Harmattan
That should give the newcomers something to ponder.

Regards,
Roger

I've noticed a big influx of new users now that the N810 is $220 at WalMart.

It's actually a reference to a post by my hero, Mr. S. J. Gadsby:

Any other date prediction you've seen has been wishful thinking by, well, unofficial sources (read: fanboys, wackos, and trolls).

Perfect! This system has a built-in purgatory for forum trolls.... "Congratulations Sir, based upon your wondrous postings of late, we have elevated you to the member level, Elephanta." Then cutoff all their posting rights.

I would choose "Sardine" for my level

EDIT: Why? Because I think I'm cutting edge... except that the edge I'm cutting is usually off on some forgotten, oddball tangent.

Maemo Sardine is meant for application developers, hackers and tinkerers, not for end-users. By nature it is unstable and will often be badly broken.

It's looking likely that "Ilmatar" or "Inverna" will follow Harmattan, by the way.
