Really? Can you provide links? I only remember
people emphasising that they don't mind because
they think the current work-around work
perfectly for them. I seriously don't see how
anyone can seriously be opposed to having a
dictionary with correct spellings. :/

I initially opposed the idea since we had come up
with a workaround. After some more thought and
reading the opinion of others on Wiktionary EN, I
changed my mind and now I'm convinced proper
capitalisation is indeed crucial for a dictionary
project.
I'm also convinced proper capitalisation is crucial
for
a dictionary project. But I'm not convinced Timwi's
solution is the best way to go about it.

I came up with the workaround after asking a
developer whether it would be possible to have
proper capitalisation. The answer back then was that
it wouldn't be possible, so we learned how to live
and cope with it. Now that there is a willingness to
change it, I think it is a blessing.
