    Disclaimer: this is my opinion & you don't have to agree with it. But please respect it as i do yours.

    Haiku is a very nice name for 2 reasons:
    1. It flows well
    2. is stands for a light weight form of poetry

    Light weight & flowing poetry are great things to associate w/ an OS in my opinion.

  2. Haiku by Deltawolf · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Haiku is a nice name, gives it a poetic feel. Next thing we know the login message on an OpenBeOS shell will be one.

  3. Where's the code? by Fished · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Looking at OpenBeos' website, I can't find anything to download. What's the point of a new name with no code? Am I missing something?
