Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Yeah, that is due to xstream java library which will use the field name 
(lower case) if it is a field of an object, but maybe the Object name 
(uppercase) when it is not (e.g. a list of things?).  Anyways, if you need 
this, I can put aliases on the things I believe so it is always starting with 
lower case letters (you want all tags to start with lower case letters or 
just some), and I would assume since the API is out there, its hard to just 
make this change by default; this would be an option you could set in the 
server or the request, right?

Thanks,
Chris
