Re: FVWM: spelling of fvwm vs. Fvwm vs. FVWM

But it's really only the documentation that would need changing if anything since: * Having a binary name all in capitals (a la FVWM) is ludicrous -- and goes against the grain for every other naming convention I've seen. (At best, *some* applications start with a capital letter, but even that's rare). * The naming is currently inconsistent anyway, since you have: FvwmButtons -- if *you* wanted it consistent you'd have stuck with fvwmbuttons from the outset to denote module names. But it's fine, I quite like the camelcase naming for modules. :) And I'm happy if you *don't* do it just in context. I've spent many hours to have consistent spelling all over the place. You can have your toys back, of course. Even if I do still go ahead and change the *documentation* I know you're not going to be happy about it. I don't want to anger you either, so I'll drop it. It's a shame. Should this resurface sometime again in the future, my offer is still open. -- Thomas Adam
