Well in all fairness I am all for whatever names comes up. I still think
"Plasma" is the way to go, skip the numbers and simply go "Yeah its plasma"
and if someone asks for version number you give whatever it is.
This is again something that we need to divide into
Technical and Promotion.
These are two entirely different areas with different needs. You don't spit
out the entire serial number for a Ferrari if you and the person you're
talking to aren't car nuts - you say "Its a Ferrari"
When asking for spare parts for you ferrari at the shop you go "Its a Ferrari
X9 2009 - TL" or something but not in the marketing. At worst you add a catchy
title to it IF and only if the brand is so flexible it can contain several
different things, which, lets be fair a linear product like "Plasma" isn't.
Whatever we choose to do - if the central point of marketing is "Hey this is
the new Plasma, check out the new Plasma" it doesn't matter what its really
named: as long as it has a name.
(YYYY.MM, 5 or 2)
Reminds me of a friend who when her first child was born she and her boyfriend
couldn't think of a name. They couldn't think of one days after the kid was
born making her first birth certificate say "Flickebarnet" ("The Girl Child")
instead of her first name causing a shit load of confusion later when they had
to get that fixed.
My point essentially is:
Plasma 2014,06, Plasma 2, Plasma 5, KDE 5... Whatever you guys decide I will
smile happily and go "YAY" and we can start market the shit out of it. As long
as we decide it soon :)
