Style Guide
This page serves as a style guide for reference when contributing to the BUGswarm developer portal. Please direct any questions, comments, or concerns towards barberdt or jedahan. Thanks!
Capitalization of terms should follow the format seen here and on the Ontology page.

BUG: The name of the device. Incorrect alternatives include 'Bug'.
BUGswarm: The name of the platform. Incorrect alternatives include 'Swarm', 'BUGSwarm', 'BugSwarm'.
RESTful API: The type of API used to configure swarms and their resources. Incorrect alternatives include 'ReSTful API', 'Restful API', 'REST API', and 'Rest API'. Note that 'API' is always capitalized.

When contributing to the developer portal, it is important to understand the terms you are working with. For a complete list of the technical terms associated with the platform, visit the Ontology section of this wiki.
The BUGswarm developer portal makes use of Twitter's Bootstrap CSS framework. When contributing, referencing the formatting of the already present pages is generally a good place to start.
