ZF2: Survey on ACRONYM casing or MixedCasing

There’s been a discussion on the Zend Framework mailing lists about how to capitalise acronyms when used in class names.

i.e. Zend\PDF or Zend\Pdf; Zend\XMLRPC or Zend\XmlRpc?

Matthew and the ZF team have decided that this issue needs to be sorted and so he posted recently:

Our team is at a point where we actually think the important thing is to simply have a rule. As such, we’re leaving it up to you, our users, to decide.

Simply fill out this form:

http://short.ie/zf-acrocase

We’ll close it in a week or so, and use the decision from that form to determine how to proceed. We even promise to publicly export the results, in the interest of transparency. :)

So, help choose the direction of ZF2 today!

So, if you use Zend Framework, please take the time to answer the question!

    Well, I voted for MixedCasing. ACRONYM seems less readable because it is harder to see where one word ends and another begins.

    This:

    XmlHttpRequest

    is better than this:

    XMLHTTPRequest

    Huh. Just getting “MDB2 Error: connect failed” from short.ie even shows up that way in Google’s cache.

    Is there another link to the form?
