+# Community Repo Files and folders naming rules
+
+v1.0
+
+## Folders
+
+Folders should generally be named in lower case characters, with '-' as words separator. In other words, in lower kebab case: `example-folder-in-lower-kebab-case`
+
+
+## Files
+
+For regular files, the general rule should be to use lower snake case: `lower_Snake_Case`. Uppercase is allowed, as well as numbers.
+
+Not recommended to use:
+1. Spaces
+2. Non-English characters
+3. Characters used in URLs: #, &, ?, :, /
+
+
+These naming conventions can be overruled by the specific requirements dictated by respective software tools or libraries that a contributor choses to use for their coding contributions.
