Hey - Does anyone know where I can find a list of the module "acronyms" or "synonyms" for Drush? I'm trying to, for example, download theme developer module and I'll be damned if I can find the appropriate command to do so.... something like "drush dl theme_developer", "drush dl theme_devel", "drush dl devel_theme", "drush dl themedeveloper".... ??? Anyhow it would be nice to have that list or even at least to have the acronym, nickname, abbreviation or whatever the term is.... listed on the module documentation page. Maybe it is I just can't locate it.
Thanks
Oh and I am asking this here because I've asked enough dumb questions on the general forum....:)

Project names?
Are you referring to the Drupal project names? Just look at the URL. So Theme Developer would be devel_themer.
/project/HERE
I usually go to the project page on drupal.org and get the ID from the URL. So, for Theme Developer, I'd look up the project and the URL is http://drupal.org/project/devel_themer. Then I'd take every after "project/"...so "drush dl devel_themer"
Sometimes the URL project name doesn't line up to the drush enable command. For example, with Views, you also need to enable "views_ui" in addition to "views" if you want to make any changes to Views via the GUI. If I run into any problems when enabling modules through Drush, then I use "drush pml" to get the list of all modules, and the module ID is there.
