The proposed changes are based on the following Slack thread: https://innersourcecommons.slack.com/archives/C04PXKRN4/p1649258602339809

The changes include:

  • example sentences when InnerSource is used as a verb
  • proposed correction of camel-case to 'Pascal case' as it is a more frequently used term than 'upper camel case'

Note:
In the long term it would be nice to spell InnerSource more like open source and maybe allow using it as a verb too (just because it rolls off the tongue).

Thank you for these improvements!

At least the InnerSource Commons has pretty specific reasons to use the spelling InnerSource but we could probably do a better job explaining them. As an aside, there is already some work underway for that.

As for using it in verb-form, I agree.
It can feel clunky at times to just use it as a noun.
Note quite sure how to do that best though.
