@hyarion What are you on about?

Yes if one were to misuse casing
like you did in your comment sure.

The fact is the actual correct case
was used: https://FreeCAD.Org,
this is just bike shedding ..

[PhoneDroid]

Also, thank you for spamming your comment
under every linked issue, forcing me to respond
likewise instead of just discussing the issue here.

[PhoneDroid]

Also to respond to your comments here as well:

1. Just because the internet commonly does something is not indicative of it being the better or the best way.
2. The changes commited in the various repositories cause NO technical issues anywhere, as they follow the spec.
3. The casing improves the editing experience while not affecting any usage ( Browsers might normalize the casing to lowercase but don't even redirect for that ) ( There is a reason why ads often uses casing when they show website addresses )
4. I deliberately left of the www subdomain as that inverse should happen - FreeCAD ( if possible ) should drop & redirect the subdomain in favor of .. nothing .. just like any other modern website. Not prefixing it makes it shorter, more readable and slightly more future proof.

• chrome, firefox and safari all shows it as lower case
• the webserver uses lowercase in redirects:

curl -I https://FreeCAD.Org 
HTTP/2 301 
server: nginx
date: Thu, 03 Jul 2025 06:57:58 GMT
content-type: text/html
content-length: 162
location: http://www.freecad.org/

• you make suggestions a lot of places which doesn't follow the two points above

If you've changed the homepage to be an outlier on the internet, then suggested everyone to follow then it would have been fine, now you forced me to respond to all your PRs on various projects as there was no central discussion

I'll write a comment that the discussion is continuing here to avoid work for both of us :)
