Establish consistent capitalization
There are inconsistent stylings of deon lowercase and Deon uppercase throughout the documentation. There should be an agreed-upon styling, and the other way should be fixed.
As for considerations:
- deon lowercase will look like the CLI and the logo.
- Deon uppercase will look less weird when used in prose, especially at the beginning of a sentence
There are examples of other command-line programs adopting either styling:
grep,pip- Git, Vim, Emacs, Conda
Other option is to use deon lowercase everywhere, except when beginning a sentence. Deon is uppercase at the start of a sentence. This is kind of a cop-out, which avoids some awkwardness, but ends up with inconsistency.
Personally, I'm in favor of uppercase Deon, because I really don't like the weird sentence beginnings. I could also go with the lowercase-except-sentence-beginning.
FWIW, the Wikipedia Style Guide would suggest uppercasing.
I don't feel strongly. Uppercasing is fine with me, but I don't promise to always do so throughout my tweets, presentations, slack messages and other communiques.
