If you prefer titles beginning with caps, you probably prefer
$wgCapitalLinks = true.  In that case, your WorkingWiki project titles 
will also begin with capitals, because they're implemented as page 
titles.  Otherwise, as far as I can recall, it makes no difference to 
WW.  I apologize for not being more clear in my installation 
instructions.  I've improved them now.

Did you take a backup before running cleanupCaps.php?  If you did
take one, you may be able to undo the damage by restoring from backup 
and changing $wgCapitalLinks back to true.
