I and a couple of the real developers discussed the
various issues and proposed techniques for improving the capitalisation of Wiki titles as requested by the various "factions" (: including what non-English Wiktionaries or at least some of their vocal users would like.
I have already experimented with the codebase to come at this problem in various ways, and Jamesday posted a summary of what we talked about on IRC at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Beer_parlour/case-sensitivity_vote
We would like to hear feedback and clarifications from everybody with your various viewpoints in this talk page please.

I am happy to read that things have been discussed with the developpers. However, I find it hard to find what is discussed as the link that is referred to is an already old thread on en:wiktionary. As a consequence it is not clear and obvious what has been discussed.
An other problem is that as this is not an en:wiktionary only issue, meta would be a more obvious choise to host this discussion.
To me, there are two issues. *Having correct content, this can be better assured without capitalisation of the first character. *How to find stuff, this may mean that the search may have to be blind for capitalisation.
I think the second option would be a nice to have while the first is a must have. I am convinced there are errors in nl:wiktionary because I just do not see the difference between some capital and undercase letters, the difference does not register. I can live with the second coming life after the first.
Thanks. Gerard
