We're writing a set of tools at work and I'm thinking of establishing a naming convention to enforce, before we get more programs deployed.
I was thinking of verb-subject, or verb_subject, or viceversa. As always, I looked at OpenBSD for inspiration, and found pkg_* ssh-* rpc.* where the prefix is actually a sort of name space. And user* group* skey* no separator between subject and verb. Based on your experiences, and ignoring for a moment the "historical" reason, which naming convention would you use and why. -- Gerardo Santana
