Hi all,
Just wondering if we should consider a brief style guide for Fedora
magazine?
One item to cover on this would definitely be how to capitalize the
titles of our posts. Having this consistent is always a good thing.
For the capitialization of posts, my vote is for sentence case. This
tends to be the most popular currently in online publications [1],
[2]. and in my honest opinion, it is not as harsh and shouty as the
alternative title case. Title case is also a lot harder to get
consistent, as many people have different ideas of what to capitalise.
For example, the sentence case is simple, capitalize the first word,
and any proper nouns:
Fedora 21 will feature "Solarized" color schemes in both the Terminal
and Gedit
and the title case (depending on who is writing it) could be:
Fedora 21 will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal
and Gedit
or
Fedora 21 Will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal
and Gedit
cheers,

Fogot to add that i have also been not following my own personal
sentence case rules lately in my rush to get posts out, but just went
through and fixed them up.
cheers,
