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
