When coming up with a release name, keep in mind we will need to be able to explain the choice to the media. We can't just say "oh, it sounded nice", or "this is a fun destination for vacation" (although I personally like "Ventura").

"Lion" and "Tiger" both come with the connotations of "powerful", "superbe", "respectful", etc.

We will have to tie the name to the main features in Plone 5. So, what are the top 3 new benefits in Plone 5?

We just need to watch out as Apple codenamed a laptop Pismo, which is a beach in California. I don't think they were on a beach theme though as the others in the series were Lombard (I presume the street in SF), and Wall Street.
