Note that user names rules are here:
https://github.com/shinnn/github-username-regex

According to the form validation messages on Join Github page,

• Github username may only contain alphanumeric characters or hyphens.
• Github username cannot have multiple consecutive hyphens.
• Github username cannot begin or end with a hyphen.
• Maximum is 39 characters.

For the module names, they are here:
https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/38670361cd4b9f9f09621f3f5a7dbe07ebde7bf2/compiler/src/Elm/Package.hs#L316

So from a quick glance:

• < 256 characters
• no -- inside
• no - at the beginning or at the end
• only lower case
• no number at the beginning

For user_name/dir, were you thinking about the logged-in user for the user name?
This would make sense.

Apparently, it is be available cross-plaform with:

Perhaps we could transform the directory name into something friendly?

We could indeed, I have put above the restrictions to respect.

I agree that the combination OS_user/current_directory should be more useful than my/application for the large majority of cases.
