Although I am not sure we reached consensus, the general sentiment seems to be that we all have different needs around naming. Jody needs to follow specific conventions for Eclipse and, because GeoSilk contains over a thousand icons from Silk, it's important for us to follow Silk naming rules to make it possible to find things.</div><div><br></div><div>I suspect developers/designers will pick the set that best suits their needs and work around it. As Jody pointed out though, anyone can use svn "externals" to link to a file and give it a different name, so there is a technical solution for this problem.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><div>-- <br>Rolando Peñate</div><div>Design Lead</div><div>OpenGeo - <a href="http://opengeo.org/" target="_blank">http://opengeo.org</a></div></span></div></body></html>
