Woow

onomatopoeia: using words that imitate the sound they denote
annmatopoeia: more common onomatopoeia from You Know Who

wow: notes mild surprise and appreciation. Emitted for example when Njaard says it's the first time he sees snow.
woow: notes admiration in a sensible degree. Emitted when Albert elegantly solves a bug. Or when Danny shows a new design for an edu program.
wooow: reserved to praise, notes great respect. The release dude gets it for example.
woooow: you get it, the more o, blah blah ...
eeeerk: expresses disgust (when someone mentions peanut butter or G..t..) the more eee greater the disgust
beurk: same as above, choice depends of the mood.

So: woow for the Debian Women! But hey, we did it before! ;-)
