Hi Torsten.

May not be the case, but I've seen do that elsewhere (in Pier I think) and the reason is simply remove (sanitize) the namespace of the class (the first two letters in uppercase).

Best.

Voyage by default provides this:

  voyageCollectionName
        "This method can be overridden with a more meaningful collection name"
        ^ ((self persistentClass name first: 3) allSatisfy: #isUppercase)
                ifTrue: [ (self persistentClass name allButFirst: 2) asLegalSelector ]
                ifFalse: [ self persistentClass name asLegalSelector ]


So a class name like Association will end up in a mongo collection
like "association".

But a class name with a prefix like "PDFLetter" will end up in a mongo
collection name like "fLetter".

Is there a reason for this specific default behavior and not having the
class name (by default) as the collection name in mongo? I know I can override
the method - but I wonder why it is treated specially also leading to potential
conflicts:

   PDFLetter voyageCollectionName  -> #fLetter
   FLetter voyageCollectionName    -> #fLetter

Thx
