I've had the same problem recently. Basically, I was missing a accepted naming convention for f.d.o projects. For the sake of argument, let's say we need a new name for "hildon-thumbnail". That package implements the org.freedesktop.thumbnailer D-Bus spec[1], and for various reasons, we don't want to use the "hildon" prefix anymore. We are going to split out the toolkit independent parts and need a 'generic' name for that. [1] http://live.gnome.org/ThumbnailerSpec We couldn't really decide whether it should be "ThumbnailerKit" or "DThumbnailer", or just "thumbnailer". At one point, we were almost considering proposing "Doozer" as a generic prefix for freedesktop.org projects. "DoozerThumb". Well. :) In the end, we went with the quite silly "ThumberStorm" (with "ThunmberStruck" as a close runner-up). So, I am more or less convinced now that there isn't any generic prefix for freedesktop.org projects. They are all individuals, and it is OK to use a 'naked' name. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
