Subject: Re: [sca-assembly] CamelCase convention recommendation from OpenCSAliaison committee
This only documents the existing practice within SCA dating back to pre 1.0 days. I, personally don't remember any extensive discussion on the convention before being used in SCA. The LSC recommended documenting the convention that already exists. I suspect, the reason SCA chose to use this convention is because it lines up with the conventions used in the OO world, similar to the rationale on Eric van der Vlist's blog [1] that you already list at [2].
