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

Note: Would be great if a project owner could make the same change in the repo description. PRs cannot affect that.

- ".Net" -> ".NET".

While we're talking description: are .NET and Mono distinct? Should this not just be "to .NET"?

@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?

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.
