Hi,

Hi devs,
Andrea created an issue about capitalizing button labels (
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11265) and I think it’s a good idea
that we decide some rules about capitalization indeed.
I’ve found this document from MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246428(v=vs.85).a…
I propose to adopt this document’s content as our rule for Capitalization
and to document that in our dev best practices on dev.xwiki.org.
Example of labels:
* “Add comment” —> “Add Comment”
* “Reset to default” —> “Reset to Default”
WDYT?
The rule misses some exceptions, for brand names, abbreviations, etc. I
don't know if it should be considered an issue or not, but normally
whatever the location (sentence, title, button...), in english you should
write "iPhone", "eBay", "mRNA", and not "Iphone"
or "IPhone" or "Ebay" or
"MRNA" or "Mnra". I suppose it would be true of any language, and that
a
brand name would be written using its original alphabet and case - but I'm
really not sure of this.
Thanks
-Vincent
