[openstack-dev] Python clients command syntax alignment

Hi, I was just wondering if there's a thought to determine some kind of
general baseline when it comes to syntaxes for commands?

This in regards to the naming of the commands themselves like:
<resource prefix aka 'net' or 'image' >-<action> where the action varies
from project to project

*Actions:*
CREATE item- add, create: Settle on one
GET collecton: Only seem 'list' here and other listing commands are
typically contextual i their usage.
GET item: show, details, describe get: Settle on one or two depending on
the context it should be used?
DELETE / disassocisation: delete, remove, disassociate - Provide some
guideline or rules on what to use when?
UPDATE: Only seen 'update'

Would it be an idea to make a wiki document that everyone agreed on to
follow both for the above and how argument / options should be used in
clients so things look more streamlined?

Endre.
