Forwarding a message I sent directly to Sarah:

Hi Sarah,

We do have a naming scheme, but there may be lessons to which it has not
been applied. The scheme is topic-level-disambiguation. For example there's
python-novice-inflammation and python-novice-turtle. To find all the shell
related repositories you can search for "shell" at
https://github.com/swcarpentry, or to find all the novice lessons you can
search for "novice". I'm not sure what's up with the
modern-scientific-authoring repo, but definitely all of our commonly used
workshop lessons should follow the naming scheme. Let me know of any others
that don't.

On a related topic, I've been interested in building a way to index our
lessons by scraping information from the repos using Python. Is that
something you'd be interested in working on?

Best,
Matt
