MindTouch releases were originally named after Minnesota state parks and forests in tribute to to the state where early MindTouch offices were located. Starting with the "Lyons" release, release names will also include US National Parks. Release names are in alphabetical order. For example, Hayes came before Lyons. Originally, version numbers were based on the letter of the alphabet of the release name (e.g. Hayes was version 1.8), but starting with Jay Cooke, MindTouch began using the Ubuntu system for version numbers: YEAR.MONTH. For example, Jay Cooke was released May 2008 and has version 8.05, Kilen Woods was released August 2008 and has version 8.08, and so on.
(Curious about why it's referenced as "MindTouch Deki" and "MindTouch" in certain places?)
