Unfortunately, to look up *who* that person was and why that person is *\"notable\"*, users have to look in the source code of the [names-generator](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/names-generator.go).\r\n\r\nThis proposal is to offer a `docker who` command that will output the information about that person. \r\n\r\nObviously, this command is named as a fun reference to Doctor Who, the [longest running Sci Fi show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who). After all, containers, just like the Tardis, are [bigger on the inside!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_nO8LSqTsY).\r\n\r\n**Usage**\r\n\r\nTo obtain the information on a certain person, feed the container-name:\r\n\r\n    $docker who happy_euclid\r\n    # Euclid invented geometry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid\r\n\r\nOr just the name of the person;\r\n\r\n    $docker who yonath\r\n    # Ada Yonath - an Israeli crystallographer, the first woman from the Middle East \r\n    # to win a Nobel prize in the sciences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Yonath\r\n\r\n\r\n@jfrazelle perhaps something to your liking? :smile:\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/docker/docker/issues/comments/72922942","html_url":"https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/9042#issuecomment-72922942","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/docker/docker/issues/9042","id":72922942,"user":{"login":"fsniper","id":803734,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/803734?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper","html_url":"https://github.com/fsniper","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fsniper/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-04T19:37:44Z","updated_at":"2015-02-04T19:37:44Z","body":"@thaJeztah Hey :) Thanks :+1: "}}
