Hi, Ecaterina!
I changed all occurrences in my website to "XWiki".
Russians would say "безобразно, но единообразно"
("ugly, but consistently").
;-P

Hi Valdis,
When I commented on your website saying that you spelled XWiki wrong, in
my
mind I was just trying to correct you. I expect
at least people from our
community to know how to spell it right. If you work with XWiki and you
are
an active member of this community than you part
of this 'family' and you
too should promote doing/writing things the 'right' way.
Thanks,
Caty

(given name for person or dog, city or ship name,
etc.) starts with
capital and then, if not all characters are capital, it follows with
small letters.
There are brandnames (mostly intentionally, to differ from "generic"
name) this rule is not followed: XWiki, iOS, PiTiVi, etc.
So, when I write about Xwiki:
1. I don't know it is spelled XWiki,
2. I'm too lazy to bother,
3. I intentionally spell it Xwiki, to not add disclaimer, that iOS or
XWiki or ... is a registered trademark (if is),
4. something else...
What do you think?
I'm not sure I understand your point. What's the question? :)
If your point is just that people will make mistakes writing XWiki then
yes we've experienced that.
Thanks
-Vincent
