This is good advice.

However, if you insist on having "meaningful" version names it helps  
to know the conventions that tools like SqueakSource or the MC  
repository browser assume: "packagename-version" where "packagename"  
is the Monticello package name (including dashes) and version  
generally is "author.number" (should not contain a dash). The  
"author" is pretty much free-form, so you could put anything you like  
there without confusing the tools (which look for dots and dashes).
