Capitalize "remote execution" or not? #3140

Should we capitalize "remote execution" or not?

The term is not yet defined in the RH SSG.
The capitalization of the term is not yet unified across the docs.

I'm leaning towards not capitalized. What do you think, @theforeman/documentation?

I have no strong opinion but I like the approach of discussing, standardizing, and enforcing a common way. I can help best in phase two and three.

@apinnick Should we decapitalize this term as well? :)

Since remote execution is referred to as ReX by a lot of users, decapitalising it makes it look neater IMO.

apinnick commented 1 month ago

My preferences are "remote execution" and "REX".

There is no rule that says we only capitalize the first letters in acronyms. I think "ReX" looks too 'fussy' and would be difficult to enforce. Users already use "REX".

I agree with @apinnick.

I don't think I've seen "ReX" before, pretty sure it's always simply "REX". If you really want to be fussy, wouldn't it be "REx"? Though that also looks odd to me. So I'd embrace the commonly used "REX".

And it always makes me think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Rex so I have this image of a German Shepherd. If we ever needed a logo ...

Thanks, everyone. When I'm back from my vacation, I'll fix it.
