Writing Style Guide

This page is meant to be a resource listing the proper spelling and capitalization of terms often used in Aeolus, meant as a quick-reference for those who need it. It may evolve over time, and should help us present a consistent, polished appearance across our applications and documentation.

Spelling

Certain terms are often spelled or capitalized incorrectly. Please note the following:

• CloudForms Cloud Engine (the product version of Aeolus) is capitalized as shown -- "CloudForms" is one word, and "Cloud Engine" is two. (See here.)

• Deltacloud is written as a single word, with only the first letter capitalized. (See http://deltacloud.apache.org/.)

• OAuth has both a capital 'O' and a capital 'A'. (See here.)

• OpenStack is properly written with the 'O' and 'S' both capitalized. (See here.) 'OpenStack' is correct; 'Openstack' is incorrect.

• Red Hat is two words, with each capitalized. 'RedHat' or 'Redhat' is incorrect.

• Tim (the cloud image management tool) has a capital 'T' but is not written in all caps. (See here.)

• VMware vSphere is capitalized exactly as shown. (see here.)
