Then I threw in a few docs edits that have been sitting around in my sandbox asking to be committed for months. --- diff --git a/README b/README index 27f60b64..79b28dc4 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -1,11 +1,14 @@ -Welcome to the Tahoe-LAFS project [1], a secure, decentralized, +Welcome to the Tahoe-LAFS project--a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem.
