To All,

Every now and then I have a 'holy war' with new colleagues (I hop a lot) about the naming of classlibs. E.g., should the highest/base classlib be named after the 'owning' company and should we only use a subclass of that classlib in a specific application, and name the subclassed lib after the application? Like:
   abcBase.vcx       Your company ABC?
   abcReporting.vcx  Based on base classes in abcBase.vcx?
   *
   defBase.vcx       Subclass of abcBase.vcx for your customer 'company DEF'?
   defReporting.vcx  Subclass of abcReporting.vcx for your customer 'company DEF'?
   *
   ghiBase.vcx       Subclass of defBase.vcx for your customer's application GHI?
   ghiReporting.vcx  Subclass of defReporting.vcx for your customer's application GHI?
I don't want to start a holy war, but I'm quite interested in your naming conventions!

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
Let's develop superb standards that will end the holy wars.
