Including the year and month on a project file means it can stand independent of it's directory for easy distinction in search, meaning you can find relevant files in a way that is uncomplicated and easy to understand. [Edit] As dkarl mentioned more elegantly: this system helps map a project in time. YYMM on project files is shorter and less ambiguous than using a project name for the same function. I'd imagine the sub-directory underscore is also used to aid searching. You can easily visually identify (or filter) sub-directories. > The initial underscore helps by (a) keeping those directories sorted [separately] and (b) providing a visual clue that they are 'special'.
