Message-ID: <426aedc1-fd8d-5708-2164-03a10224a652@grinta.net> (raw)

Hello,

what is the established convention for naming packages that mainly
provide a major mode? If I have a package that mainly provides
`foo-mode`, in the sense that all the "user facing" functionality is
enabled activating a major mode, should the package be named "foo" or
"foo-mode"?

I see examples of both. Notable examples are "org-mode" and "bibtex".

Thank you.

Cheers,
Dan
