Re: [cosmos-dev] Re: Wiki naming conventions

Chris,
The use of the wiki relative to design
documentation, et. is still "new" to the eclipse community.  Projects
seem to be using the wiki in different ways.  In COSMOS, because we
wanted to have a way for people to actively participate while they are
working towards being a committer, we chose to do as much as possible on
the wiki.  So far, it seems to be working out pretty well.

As to the question of naming conventions....
I'm not aware of any specific guidelines
for the wiki.  A general rule of thumb that I try to follow is if
a page name can apply across multiple projects, e.g. "Release Engineering"
or "Meeting Minutes", then I try to prefix it with "COSMOS",
e.g. http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_Architecture_Meetings

I was recently told of the convention for design documents
(bugzilla
number), but I'd still like to find an answer for other wiki pages.

Thanks,
