I agree. We try very hard to convince people to spell it all lower case so all occurrences in our repository should use that spelling. As a side note, spelling it all lowercase puts people using that word in other languages in a dilemma. For example in German names are normally spelled with a capital first letter. So in my opinion project names should normally start with a capital letter. The same is even true for English where you normally start the first word in a sentence with a capital letter. Not so easy.
