Perhaps more importantly, it'd get confused with the short term development goals since their only identification is Release 1, Release 2, etc. I think I'm in favor of calling this Caravan Release 1 or some variation thereof, since that is descriptive and correctly identifies it in the broader development plan.
Mmm, quite true. The issue with Caravan Release 1 is that we're trying not to reference the version, but rather the save compatibility, since that's when we've branched the wiki in the past: 23a, 40d, 0.31, and the current version.
Now I'm thinking something like "Current 4". It's descriptive of the version -- in that it's the current version. The "4" would be slightly confusing to some people, however adding it would make sure that we can keep an alias around in the future so links to the wiki don't break (example: how DF2010 is aliased to v0.31 now, so
http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:cheese still works).
"rel4" is really bad -- it doesn't make sense to choose a term that 1) nobody has ever used, 2) doesn't make any sense, and 3) doesn't jibe with any other namespaces. DF2010 and DF2012 aren't terrible, but they're clear. v0.34 would work too.
Anyway, what brought me here is that I have a (very rough) string dump which I was going to add to the new namespace (it's on pastebin for now).
As I've mentioned before, we can't name the current namespace by the version number, since that number is liable to change without breaking save compatibility. For Mediawiki sanity purposes, we want to keep the number of renames of a namespace down to a minimum, so we need to choose a non-version number namespace. The intention behind Rel4 (though I agree it's not the name we should go with) is that what we're really talking about in these namespaces is save compatibility, thus my "Current 4" suggestion.
