@jeljaik @naveenoid You had the same idea! Here the issue to implement it. : )

I guess the 4 points I can think of to start off this discussion :

  1. subscripts and superscripts - using latex like convention but starting at the most superscripted character and using underscores for the rest : eg. w_T_b
  2. Greek symbols : using english names of symbols like omega.
  3. Treating subscripted symbols like joint velocity as qj(double character) or as q_j(using rule 1 above).
  4. As always, matrixes in capitals, vectors non capitalised.

I think this is a good idea, but it is each project documentation duty to define this. For an inspiration, see the quite good Drake's docs on this: http://drake.mit.edu/doxygen_cxx/group__multibody__notation.html .
