Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] How do we spell our project?

I'd say e4, definitely. E4 is a British
television channel. In p2 we take great pains to avoid starting sentences
with p2 to avoid the capitalization problem ("some cool stuff will
be done in e4", "The e4 project does some cool stuff", etc).
Our main problem area was the wiki, which insists on capitalizing the first
letter on each page. We got around this by calling each page "Equinox
p2 <blort>", but this got to be too wordy so we eventually gave
up. Luckily the wiki is smart enough to do the capitalization on the fly
so you can still use tags like [[e4]] and [[p2]] and the wiki will know
what to link to.

Kevin,

Let's say it's e4 unless it's at the start of a sentence.  As an analogy,
itemis' name, like their logo, should generally be in lower case:
http://www.itemis.com/
But at the start of a sentence (or when title case applies),
it's upper case.  E.g.,
Itemis develops efficient software solutions...
Why poll when you can ask for opinions on the committer
mailing list. :-P

A minor thing, but I can't figure out if we call ourselves "e4"
or "E4".  I've seen both. I like the lower case, it just
looks more, well, hip.  But then you can't start a sentence with "e4
will do some cool stuff". 

Should we open a poll? :)
