OK, guys - we need to settle, what's the proper name of SW
Is it:

  1. Service Workers
  2. ServiceWorkers
  3. Service Worker
  4. ServiceWorker

Various examples of usage from the web :)

  1. Service Workers
    @jeffposnick - http://updates.html5rocks.com/2015/02/offline-first-with-sw-precache

  2. ServiceWorkers
    @jakearchibald - http://jakearchibald.com/2014/using-serviceworker-today/

  3. Service Worker
    https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/#service-worker-api

  4. ServiceWorker
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ServiceWorker_API (in title, in text it's 'service worker' so technically it's the fifth one)

Combos:
@slightlyoff - Name of this repo is "ServiceWorker", at the end of the URL https://slightlyoff.github.io/ServiceWorker/spec/service_worker/ is "service_worker" and in title h1 there's Service Workers

Some problems that this small issue introduces:

  • SW is now included in Platinum Elements in Polymer. Let's see what tags are there: "serviceworker" and "service-worker". On Stack Overflow? [service-worker]
  • It'd be nice to measure people interest in this topic after ex. Google I/O - but what phrase should we use?

Additionaly, it actually means also something else (The service workers strike), so we should be extra-careful.

It's the last moment, when we still can control it somehow (until hundreds of blogs will write some article about SW, using different names) - so let's do it :)

I believe the editorial team settled on "service worker" when it came to http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/service-worker/introduction/

In the first header there's "Service Worker" while in paragraph there's "service worker" :P

Well, the headers I can forgive, because they're capitalised. Eg "How to Register and Install a Service Worker"

"How to use Service Worker" article's subtitle is not capitalized :)

I think it should be "service worker". Similar to "worker" and "shared worker".

If you can make that consistent with some PRs, that'd be appreciated.
