Naming Conventions for Images
I propose verbose naming conventions rather than short abbreviations, mainly to make the wiki search engine easier to use. These are merely suggestions -- we should have a discussion about it before we go too far. -- JohnH
Note: we may be able to use spaces instead of underscores, I believe the Wiki sees them as the same thing.
