it's helpful, but could be better. how should i, an individual contributor with no particular "domain" that i own or belong to, construct a name? the given example of "com.redhat.Sugar.BrowserActivity" isn't much of a guideline in that case. should i just make one up? (and, in the case of my one and only activity, there was no python involved, so the entire second half of the paragraph was inapplicable.) paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
