Yes, I was going to say that.  After /wiki, things will be mixed-case,
because that's how MediaWiki works.  (The first letter after /wiki/
basically has to be upper case.)

I also want to remove the "/IG" before the "/wiki".  Other /IG/ pages I
can do on a case-by-case basis later.

So, the wiki will just be:

   http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki

You're proposing the main page, instead of 

   http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Main_Page
be
   http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/eGovernment_Interest_Group

?

I'm torn about this one.  I'm not a big fan of "Main_Page", but I don't
love the alternatives I see, either.

Hear, hear.  I'm trying to think of how to turn the enthusiasm for
saying "+1 lowercase" into people actually producing our deliverables.  :-)
