Correct ".NET" usage #1046
Correct ".NET" usage #1046

- ".Net" -> ".NET". - Make fully upper-case, which is the correct usage.

While we're talking description: are .NET and Mono distinct? Should this not just be "to .NET"? |
/cc @Therzok ? |
|
@richlander Thanks! Repository description has been updated. |
|
@nulltoken It's actually dependent on what you're trying to say. If you're trying to mention a runtime, then it's Mono/CoreCLR/CLR. If you're trying to mention the .NET stack, it's .NET. |
|
@Therzok Hmmm... So, what would be a correct wording to express that the library is compatible with both the Mono project and Microsoft implementations of the runtime? /cc @ethomson @richlander |

I suggest removing Mono from the repo description at the top, just to make it simpler. it's really a statement about this project being the language bindings for .NET at large. It is important to be clear about .NET and Mono in the readme, since that describes a particular usage scenario. @migueldeicaza is free to overrule me. |
|
Isn't .NET a Microsoft trademark for a particular implementation? Perhaps a task for the .NET foundation to bless various VMs implementing some/parts of the spec as being .NET or not? But in the meantime, I do not think it hurts to put both Mono and .NET there. |
|
Works for me! |
/cc @martinwoodward Meanwhile, let's merge this in. Cheers! |
|
Thanks for the CC - I'll add certification to my list of things to look into. |
Note: Would be great if a project owner could make the same change in the repo description. PRs cannot affect that.
