While developing applications that run on top of Pyramid, having other people find those projects becomes difficult without having pyramid somewhere in the project name. If someone searches github or any of the other repositories, the search function is somewhat inadequate in finding projects without Pyramid in the proper name. Projects have no way to easily signify that they are an addon, yet, are not part of the project.
What I would suggest is a naming convention for pypi packages that are related to pyramid, but, not endorsed. Perhaps something like pyramid_ext_ or pyramid_app_. Django applications use the django. prefix and there is little confusion as it is the expected naming convention. I feel that the name Pyramid needs to be in the name somewhere so people looking for apps and extensions that work with pyramid are easily found. It is a two way street - it makes it easier for projects using Pyramid to be found, and, having projects with the Pyramid name in it will validate the framework as having activity and an external development community supporting it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
