[Koha-devel] We need Koha Naming Standards

[Kyle Hall]

It's been discussed a few times, but I think we need to formalize naming
conventions when writing patches for Koha.

The worse offenders are those things that we use many different names for
both internally and externally. I think patrons/borrowers/members is the
worst offender. List come to mind as well ( previously being virtual
shelves ).

I believe that our internal nomenclature should reflect our outward
nomenclature. So if the staff and/or OPAC use the term "patron" we should
be using the term "patron" in our code as well, especially for namespaces.

What does everyone think?

The more we hammer out now the easier it will be to vote on naming rules at
the dev meeting.
