So is user1.user2.* the "new hotness" naming style for collaborative bots instead of wiki.* ? Or is it a subtle distinction between specific team-ups and totally wide-open bots? I kind of like the wiki package, though I also kind of thing it should be 'robowiki'. (I put RoboRunner in 'robowiki.runner' package.)

I think these kind of team-ups have been around for a while, eg there was usa.nano.Nemo which was in package usa because both creators were from the USA. I think wiki/robowiki package is great for stuff which is specifically released as public domain, like BasicSurfer, as well as test bots like DrussiousGT, and code/utils which is meant for people to use and hoist, but I see no problem with collaborative bots.

Can't remember if we were the first, but I know Chase and I used user1.user2.* for Scarlet. The thinking was a subtle distinction between specific team-ups and totally wide-open bots, but I'm kind of on the fence about "user1.user2.*" vs the wiki package. It really was a test bot like DrussiousGT, though the thinking was to leave it up there till either Chase or I surpassed Scarlet individually (though Scarlet has been removed despite that point not yet being reached due to some performance issues it had).

On the subject of the wiki package, now that you mention it, I'd say I would prefer "robowiki." over "wiki." for sure.

Yeah, Scarlet was the one I remembered, but now I also recall GeomancyBS, which was "synapse.rsim". I think "usa" package was more because of the Robocode Olympics.

I wasn't passing judgement, just curious. :-) I can certainly see why user1.user2 makes sense as different than wiki package.
