+== On writing style
+
+To keep writing style consistent accross multiple iSAQB documents, please apply the styles used in the Foundation Level Curriculum.
+
+=== Heading Capitalization
+
+Use title case for all headings:
+
+* capitalize: first and last word, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs
+* lowercase: articles and prepositions
+
+When in doubt, opt for https://capitalizemytitle.com/style/Chicago/[Chicago Style].
+
+=== Bullet Point Lists
+
+To unify upper/lowercase within the (EN) version, we use the _Chicago manual of style proposal_":
+
+* short bullet items don't get a full-stop
+* next one starts lowercase
+* if bullets are phrases or fragments, dont use punctuation
+* if and only if an item is a really long sentence which deserves a full stop, or consists of several sentences, then we use it.
+* Only then does an item start with uppercase.
+
+For a possible German (DE) version, don't use punctuation at the end of bullet-list items, unless on ends-of-sentences.
