Unfortunately yes. Devices we develop with partners are confidential
until they launch and we can't talk about names or specs. For
consistency we should probably stick to using code names in
communication even after launch to avoid slipping up with unreleased
devices.
This consistency seems reasonable and smart.
(I would not propose dropping code names. I think they're a fantastic
tool for a number of reasons that aren't temporary opacity.)
That having said, I don't mind if someone wants to put up a public
page listing the device code names for released devices so our
community has an easier time figuring out builds.
Asa, want to take this on?
Absolutely!
And that's precisely what I was thinking. When there's no more value in
the secret, we should make it easy for new contributors to decode as
much as possible of our recent newsgroup posts, irc conversations, and
other documentation. That could definitely improve the onboarding
process for new contributors.
I'll reach out to stakeholders, make sure I'm seeing the whole picture,
come up with a document and plan for keeping it updated, and get back to
this list with a link ASAP.
