Naming Standards

• If you don't use consistent naming

  • It will not be possible to find what you are looking for

• If the project is the sole owner of the repository

  • The name could start with the document's originator

    • E.g. Smith, Jones, etc
  • Better still with the type of document

    • E.g. Status (report), Meeting, Requirements, etc
  • You might even start with the date

    • If you have a compelling reason to sort by date
    • In which case, adopt the sequence YYYYMMDD

• If the repository stores for multiple projects

  • Start with the project name
