Inconsistent use of "boot camp" and "bootcamp"

[ahmadia]

I think "bootcamp" is preferred according to the FAQ, however I see a few uses of "boot camp" in the template

@amyrbrown and others - any editorial guidance here?

8 October Update: We prefer bootcamp, note any spotted "boot camps" in the wild to this issue.

@gvwilson - up for putting this one out to Issue committee or are you wearing a shiny benevolent dictator hat here :) I've always preferred 'boot camp' myself. What's the rationale behind bootcamp as one word?

I'll defer to Amy Brown, who is a professional copy editor. Amy?

Chicago 15 says "With frequent use, open or hyphenated compounds tend to become closed (on line to on-line to online)" [7.84] -- I'm happy to be ahead of the curve on bootcamp. Also it's clearly Greg's fingermacro, therefore if we changed to "boot camp" it would be more work to maintain consistency. :) So let's stick to "bootcamp", and if you find "boot camp" anywhere feel free to fix it. Thanks!

Resolved by editorial committee to bootcamp.

I see needed changes in the rendered template bc website, but we will probably also spot them elsewhere.

I guess it would be enough to change the two-word version in all the *.md and *.html files. If so, I just did a PR with that.

@iglpdc - I don't see it?

Sorry, I screwed my pull-request. I'll redo it in 5 mins.
