From 8b5dbee47ebafc8243abb25a1771bd1983d48306 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jimmy Cuadra Date: Sun, 29 May 2016 02:31:56 -0700 Subject: Alter phrasing to clarify where info is stored. A user on #matrix:matrix.org was confused by the phrasing of the first sentence in the paragraph and couldn't tell whether it was saying that the homeserver stored the data or the clients did. This change splits it into two sentences to make the subject of each sentence clear. --- README.rst | 13 +++++++------ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'README.rst') diff --git a/README.rst b/README.rst index 95e7257115..722ff9f11f 100644 --- a/README.rst +++ b/README.rst @@ -58,12 +58,13 @@ the spec in the context of a codebase and let you run your own homeserver and generally help bootstrap the ecosystem.
