9. Packages should follow the [Stylistic Conventions](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/variables/#Stylistic-Conventions).
* The package name should begin with a capital letter and word separation is shown with upper camel case
* Only ASCII characters are allowed in a package name
* Packages that provide the functionality of a project from another language should use the Julia convention
* Packages that [provide pre-built libraries and executables](https://docs.binarybuilder.org/stable/jll/) can keep their original name, but should get `_jll`as a suffix. For example `pandoc_jll` wraps pandoc. However, note that the generation and release of most JLL packages is handled by the [Yggdrasil](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil) system.
