I do it in a similar way, not just for maybes:
paramMay <- getHTTPPostParam "Param" paramStr <- maybe (throwError "No Param parameter") return paramMay let paramE = parseParam paramStr param <- case paramE of Left e -> throwError $ "Error while parsing Param: " ++ show e Right p -> return p
It'd be great, if there was a "centralised" naming convention guide.
Of course, naming will always be a matter of taste. For instance I would not write maybe_something, because I prefer camel case, that is, maybeSomething. On the other hand, I already wrote some Wiki articles that you may read as suggestions for certain naming conventions: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Qualified_names http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Pairs_of_identifiers and other articles in Category:Style. You may add an article for suggestions of how to name lists, maybes, eithers etc.
