From c104f418ec128117b5025edd7e9e5347d2e9078a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Charles Ackerman Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 13:08:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Update README.md (#130) * Update README.md - Minor grammatical fixes - Converted headings to "sentence case" where only the first letter is capitalized; this is the preferred style for Nest documentation - I left all "Thread" instances as "Thread" and "OpenThread" as "OpenThread". I would like to make sure there are not instances where "Thread" is intended to refer to "OpenThread". --- README.md | 26 +++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 1ce9a77bd..db5120451 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -4,9 +4,9 @@ --- OpenThread is an open-source implementation of the [Thread][thread] -networking protocol.
