Redhawk beat me to the punch...

90% of the readme's I've been given has gone the way of getting overwritten because the distributor couldn't bother to name them uniquely.

Don't just name it uniquely, name it appropriately.

I suggest:

yourname_packagename_readme.txt

(or .html or .pdf)

That will make it instantly findable.
'yourname' should also be the name of the folder in geometries and textures - thus adding a further connectability:

Runtimegeometriesyourname (.obj files)
Runtimetexturesyourname (.bum, .jpg files)
RuntimeLibrariesposes (.pz2 and .png files)
RuntimeLibrariesProps (.pp2 and .png files)

If I remember, I rename individual items to add 'artistname' at the beginning:

'yourname_coolskirt.pp2'

• I recommend putting yourname in there to begin with, so people will know when they use the item who made it.

Further sorting is by preference.
I sort my items in props and figure by the model they go to, but others do it differently. However, as long as I'm on a path:

RuntimeLibrariesposesV4MAT_clothing (.pz2 and .png files)
RuntimeLibrariesposesV4Poses (.pz2 and .png files)
RuntimeLibrariesPropsV4dynamic (.pp2 and .png files)
RuntimeLibrariesCharactersV4bottoms (.pp2 and .png files)
RuntimeLibrariesCharactersV4tops (.pp2 and .png files)

etc...

By the way, I made a post like this in 1999 or 2000. Nobody paid attention to me then, I suspect nobody will now, and I will keep overwriting readmes and forgetting who made what...

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
