I would say: if this library is only for you, and you don't intend to share it -ever-, then "foo" for the namespace is good. if you intend to share the library, then use the classical prefix notation: * either of the form net.reeves.james.foo ( or any reversed tld you "own" ) * either of the form com.yourcorp.foo Of course, if your library has an especially cryptic name (as we have with counterclockwise: ccw), then having also directly foo may also not interfere with other's namespaces. That's the path we took for counterclockwise, and our top-level namespace/package is just 'ccw' My 0.02 €, -- Laurent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
