Chris Nagele on July 3rd, 2007 at 12:20 pm: Most of my ideas revolved around growth. Something similar to a growing source trunk/branches. Beanstalk is from a popular children’s story called “Jack and the Beanstalk” about a beanstalk that grew into the sky overnight. I thought the idea and the name was a good fit to explain the growth of code over time (and the fact that our system helps you manage that).

Chris Nagele on July 3rd, 2007 at 2:21 pm: Thanks Dima! Fixed.
Leonya on July 3rd, 2007 at 3:35 pm: OK, I got it now. I remember that story :)
