An example which explains this a bit better is the plugin I maintain: GeanyGDB. If a user installed this, it showed up as "Debugger". What a user actually would have expected is, that a new item showed up as "GeanyGDB". I fixed this with SVN revision 1075 of Geany-Plugins and I think there finally is no "debug" or "debugger" anymore which could confuse anyone. It all is either "geanygdb" (Unix name) or "GeanyGDB" (the actual plugin name) and I will continue this naming in that way.
I suggest to use small letters in begin of plugin name as geany is just a prefix. So s/GeanyGDB/geanyGDB.
"Geany" in the plugin names is part of the name and should be properly capitalised as it's also done with the other plugins. I think it would be even more inconsistent and confusing if some plugins would be captilised properly (like the internal and some other plugins) and your plugins would break this rule. This would make Dominic's efforts useless.
Additionally it looks ugly, IMO :)
Well, I think capital letters at begin of names are ugly. Anyway, I've committed some patches at least for the plugin manager.
