".md" indicates that the document is in "MarkDown" format.  MarkDown is 
a markup format for making a pretty webpage, while still having the 
source (the .md file) be clearly human readable and diff-able.  MD is 
the same kind of thing as the Asciidoc that we use for the bulk of our 
documentation, though different in detail.

If you look at the bottom of the LinuxCNC project page on github you'll 
see how our README.md file renders: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc


Our linuxcnc.org website is all markdown:
