[wtp-dev] speaking of naming


I'm about to create a new folder in (some) CVS projects to hold "developers notes and interim work". We've used this in past projects with some success to store many misc. things that the committers and contributors need to share with each other, and keep some history of, but doesn't seem to fit else where, and doesn't rise to the level of "being on the web". In some cases, may just be quick design/meeting notes, in other cases sets of preferences for formatting code in that project, perhaps reference documents or presentations to each other during meetings.

My question to this list is what to call it. Recall we currently have a structure that looks like following example
jst
    components
         server
              features
                     org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.feature
                     org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat
              plugins
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.core
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.modules
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.ui
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.ui
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.ui



So, what I'm talking about would go on same level as features and plugins -- and in this case would be specific to the server component (other components might have similar 'development' directories).


jst
    components
         server
              development
                      meetingnotes
                      miscdocuments
              features
                     org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.feature
                     org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat
              plugins
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.core
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.modules
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.ui
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.ui
                      org.eclipse.jst.server.ui




I was going to call it 'development', but then thought before I clutter up CVS I'd better check if there's any objections to this choice of naming.
Or, any suggestions for better names? developers.corner? developers.working.space? misc.unimportant.stuff.to.forget.about? :)

BTW, the stuff in this development directory would not be built, but occasionally some spec or doc found there might become "final", meaning the core team was ready to have others review it, at which time it would be copied ot another location suitable for web publishing, or as another example, might be some java doc over view that once ready would be moved to be published with SDK versions.

I don't think this is a big deal, so unless I hear otherwise, I'll go with 'development' in a day or so. Just wanted to make sure there was some degree of review first to keep me from making a mistake that was obvious to others.

Thanks,

David
