Is there a standard naming convention for Pods? I'm asking because the documentation seems a bit light on what is and isn't allowed as a Pod name.
I would like to have a namespace for my own pods, like a reduced version of a qualified domain, such as af.utils and af.alife. They seem to install okay, but I then have problems when other pods depend on them.
Assuming dot separated names aren't allowed(?) - how do other people categorise their Pods?
Cheers,
Steve.

The names have to be valid Fantom identifiers. I believe actually we uncovered a bug that the invalid pod names were not being checked by the compiler (but if should be fixed in next build).
As far "organizing" namespaces, that is a very long ongoing debate. Last conversation of length was probably 1514.

Haha yeah looks like it was never really resolved there.
It seems like your best bet is to go with a single lower-case word. That'll fit the current convention best.
