Project and Observatory naming convention #85

Closed guynir42 closed 1 year ago

guynir42 commented 1 year ago

Since project and observatory names are used in producing folder and file names, we should consider if it is wise to allow any kind of string.

Two options: 1) allow only safe names (no spaces, no illegal characters) 2) write a function to convert the name to legal (we already bump to upper case). 3) allow for (at least) case insensitive searches, or just make everything lower-case in the DB?
