There is one aspect of the new name that was not discussed yet if I remember correctly: Capitalization. It seems "coreboot" is all lowercase. While I agree that it looks nice, I remember the trouble "openSUSE" had when they insisted on their particular capitalization, especially in contiguous texts with "openSUSE" at the beginning of some sentences. Starting a sentence with a lowercase word makes most word processors complain loudly. Independent of that, some media outlets don't care about capitalization of project names at all. I do like "coreboot" as it is because that capitalization gives me the impression of "works behind the scenes".
I'm starting to update some of the wiki pages (e.g. the FAQ) to use the new 'coreboot' name and I haven't seen a definite answer about the capitalization question. Is there consensus that the name should be lower-cased in all instances (even at the beginning of a sentence) ?
