One complaint we've heard often of ZF users is confusion over how
acronyms are represented in class names.
As an example, many suggest that "Zend_PDF" is more semantically correct
and easier to remember than "Zend_Pdf". On the other side of the coin,
many developers feel that our MixedCasing or Titlecasing of acronyms is
a simple, easily learned rule that makes typing easier.
For ZF2, we started converting code to use each acronym's proper casing.
However, we're not done yet, and there are good arguments on both sides
of the debate.
Our team is at a point where we actually think the important thing is to
simply have a rule. As such, we're leaving it up to you, our users, to
decide.
Simply fill out this form:
http://short.ie/zf-acrocase
We'll close it in a week or so, and use the decision from that form to
determine how to proceed. We even promise to publically export the
results, in the interest of transparency. :)
So, help choose the direction of ZF2 today!
