MYOB, do you know of any particular shell scripts it would break? I don’t know much about shell scripting so I’m kinda curious how that could work.
I definitely like the idea of Axel being the default and team leaders’ names being used everywhere else, with a bit of Walter thrown in on items of special interest, and I am also utterly convinced that we all need to spend much more time and consideration on this crucial issue.
The only logical successors which come to my mind are lord, duke, earl, count, countess, king, queen, emperor, and imperator.
But I think the new user name should reflect that Haiku is open source, unlike BeOS, therefore “parliament” or “assembly” would be more appropriate. Slightly OT,but I think the New Zealand parliament is called “beehive” (due to the architecture of the building), we could make a “BeHive” out of that.
Or, how about a boring, but simple “user”? Or “root”, for the Unix guys?
And I propose that because a haiku has 5, 7 and again 5 syllables, all files come with 575 rights.
So the group can do anything, whilst the owner and everyone who isn’t included in the group may only read and execute? The idea looks interesting when read, but won’t work well when we finally get multiple user capabilities.
root, haiku, parliament, or you are my votes. I think parliament is the most unique though ââ¬â it represents the fact that in the opensource world, all contributions are helpful and important (just like in parliament or the senate)
‘you’ is a bad choice. Why? Haiku will almost certainly be a multi-user operating system one day, and not everyone using a system will own the system files and such. ‘parliament’ and such don’t really work, I think. Your system is run by an administrator, not a legislature.
I think we should just stick with ‘baron’. It’s one of those little bits of BeOS that makes it BeOS.
