## Naming Standard

## Command for generating POD for perlcritic.com site:

perl -MPod::Simple::HTMLBatch -e 'Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch::go' lib ../../perlcritic.com/htdocs/pod/


## Branching

Development is *not* done on master.  We use a dev branch named
`dev`, and from there topic branches named for a specific topic.

   master -> dev -> docs
                \-> speedups
                \-> issue473

The only time we merge `dev` down to `master` is when doing a
release.  `master` is always the latest released code, and `dev`
is where work pending release is accumulated.  There are no branches
off of `master` other than `dev`.
