This is just a unofficial discussion into the codename for Kodi v16, with initial "J"

Usually the official threads only come quite late imo so here everyone gets a long chance to get going with the torrent of codenames you think V16 should have.

To give you some history.

V7 = A was named Atlantis
V8 = B was name Babylon
V9 = C was named Camelot
V10 = D was named Dharma
V11 = E was named Eden
V12 = F was named Frodo
V13 = G was named Gotham
V14 = H is named Helix (Current stable)
V15 = I will be named Isengard
V16 = J will be named ?? (next development)

Next in the alphabet order is "J"

To kick it off.

Does the codename for Kodi still have to be fictional or mythological places / locations like for XBMC?

Quote:In reality most names we chose were fictional not mythological, since the latter is a finite (and quite small!) list of names.
Furthermore, when the original code name Atlantis was created it did NOT refer to a mythical place, and as was explained: "We made the decision to pick codenames that reference locations in popular TV-series to have the codenames be media related, (Atlantis for example reference “Stargate Atlantis“).".
When the choices for Babylon and Camelot were made the 'mythical' element started to show up, but Dharma was a referrence to a TV-Series again (Lost).

I was thinking that if RetroPlayer and other video gaming functions make it into Kodi v16 (I*) then might be cool to have the codename be based on a famous and nostalgic fictional place from a video game?

If not then maybe

Really? Kodi v16 Jodi??

Jedi might be kinda cool, even if it's not a fictional place in any way. And Disney might sue us.
