Naming Conventions

  • Thorn names must not start with the word ``Cactus'' (in any case).
  • Arrangements will be ignored if their names start with a hash mark `#' or dot `.', or end with a tilde `~', .bak or .BAK.
  • Thorns will be ignored if they are called doc or start with a hash mark `#' or dot `.', or end with a tilde `~', .bak or .BAK.
  • Routine names have to be unique among all thorns.
