Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Bin naming conventions

ProjectYear-Month_ClientCode_ProjectTitle_DraftNumber_editversion

Draft number increments each time it's sent to the client and helps us
track the project for billing (contracts often specify how many drafts
they're paying for). Edit version is internal - each time somebody changes
direction or wants to try something, I "Save As" and increment the version
number.

The date-based conventions look useful as well, though I do display Date
Modified in the Sequences bin.
