FWIW, I tried naming a few small projects with all-lowercase names, and I
find it really hard to not capitalise them at the start of a sentence. It
looks far more wrong to me than capitalised Nouns in the middle of a
sentence. You may say this is specific to English, but most documentation
is going to be written in English.

My experience with IPython (aka "iPython") suggests that no-one outside the
project actually cares or even remembers how you capitalise your project
name. ;-)
