[Wikitech-l] server names - Wikipedia-l

30 Apr 2003

There's a second server joining the first, and Jason would like a naming
scheme for the servers. This is less a technical than an asthetic issue,
so I'm bringing it to the attention of the general list. I like the idea
of naming the servers after famous encyclopedists.

 You're right, and I retract my suggestion completely if someone comes
 up with something more fun and standards-compliant!  :-)
 Famous encyclopedists?

 Pliny, Vincent of Beavais, Denis Diderot, Jimbo? (ha ha) 
...don't forget Mortimer Adler. Besides, having a server named
mortimer is about as nerdy as it's possible to get.
