Well, I think the best thing to do is to agree on a global naming scheme that allows spaces, dashes upper-case and lower-case and just apply rules to convert that name to each particular project. The rules for device-tree names would look something like: * replace spaces with dashes * replace upper-case by lower-case We could even provide a quick one-line script on the wiki to do the conversion automatically. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices, a free software mobile operating system putting the emphasis on freedom and privacy/security.
