[Gnumed-devel] Naming conventions

[Jim Busser]

I have posted a wiki page into which I cut and pasted what I was able 
to scrounge from the developer list. The URL is given below and if 
anyone wants to suggest additional ones please add them or just email 
the list (or me) and I can add them for you.

For example I noted in pyCommon the file names (except for __init__.pyc 
and __init__.py ) begin "gm" and are inCamelCase

Is it hoped that most or all python code files that pertain to gnumed 
will begin "gm..." whereas configuration and log files (which I imagine 
may be plain text files as in the bootstrap- and redo- files that are 
in /server/ ) are open to whatever naming prevails (though it may still 
be desirable to keep some consistency on this).

Also it would be nice not to have a file of the same name in different 
directories, is it appropriate as people contemplate to create a new 
file to check their own hard drive (maybe after first updating their 
cvs) to see whether the file name that they had in mind is already in 
use?
