Here are several resources I’ve found on guidelines for capitalization of UI elements:
* http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246428(v=vs.85).a…
* https://developercenter.vmware.com/web/standards/-/capitalization-of-ui-ele…
* https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/writing-style.html.en
* https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Concep…
They all seem to roughly say the same thing…
Thanks

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?
Thanks
