As Leon pointed out in another thread, we're overdue for another
release. I'd like to have a feature freeze on March 8, leading to a
release within a week after.

Any objections?

Side note: I'll be gone Feb 26 - Mar 4.

I'm assuming this will be 0.0.10, but if anyone sneaks in a complete
implementation of exceptions or objects before then, I could be
persuaded to call it 0.1.0. (Though at least for objects, I'd much
rather have at least one trial release before officially calling it
0.1.)

while trolling for things parrot, I came upon this;

http://www.kingsnicknames.co.uk/

Towards the bottom of this paragraph is the HIT, from which one could
settle on BO-HO as a codename.

is that obscure enough ?


* Henry VIII*, /Walter, Bluff King Hal./ (1491-1547). Six times married
King of England (1509-47). First marrying Catherine of Aragon the widow
of his brother Arthur and daughter of Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain
/the Catholic/ /Monarchs,/ they were divorced 1533 she spent the rest of
her life in harsh confinement, and Henry married Anne Boleyn who was
beheaded 1536 for adultery, Jane Seymour died 1537, Anne of Cleeves a
political bride was so dull he had the marriage declared null and void,
and Thomas Cromwell his advisor beheaded with Anne receiving a pension
and retiring, Catherine Howard was beheaded in 1542, and Catherine Parr
survived him. Named for his bluff and burley manners, later in his life
nicknamed Bluebeard. Bluff meant broad faced in old English./ Burly King
Hal, Copper-nose Harry, Stout Harry, Defender of the Faith/ the title
bestowed by Pope Leo X, after Henry published his book On The Seven
Sacraments, but revoked by Pope Paul III. An intelligent, cruel, greedy
and popular Henry was not the tyrannical figure painted in legend, and
he inspired equality, fear and devotion in his subjects. Called /Bo-Ho,/
in the satirical poem of 1521 called /Speake Parrot/ by his former tutor
John Skelton, with the Lord Chancellor Cardinal Thomas Wolsey called
/Hough/ No, and both represented as dogs.

African Grey, Brotogeris, Parakeet, Budgerigar, Budgie, Cockatiel,
Cockatoo, Conure, Eclectus, Kakapo, Lory, Lorikeet, Lovebird, Macaw,
Parrotlet, Pionus, Poicephalus, Quaker, Ringneck?

Since we don't have any of objects, exceptions, or a real IO system, I
would suggest "Kakapo" (which is a kind of weird flightless parrot).

Once we do have these things (0.1 or 0.2 ? ) how about codename
greencheeks for the Green-cheaked parrot?

After releasing the Nazgul into the world last time, I may as well let
out a crazed misogynist next... :-)
