readme.md and README.md conflict
Having both readme.md and README.md causes errors on case insensitive operating systems like windows.
which directory? I've been doing a number of README's

Certainly older docs need to be labeled as such, and duplicate names avoided!
But regarding PR #37, personally I find it unfortunate when design docs hinting at structure/motivation/inspiration are hidden from view. From a docs directory especially...as even historical such docs can greatly help maintainers, new map devs and other community enthusiasts...understanding the lay-of-the-land here (i.e. the years of hard work @georgejhunt has put into this, even if there's no map of the map just yet!)
At minimum we really should try to preserve a prominent link to... https://github.com/iiab/maps/blob/ebcb43e54979023b33720f51dc3b07c6673c7e42/docs/readme.md ...being that we're in the library/cartography business after all ;)
To that end (software archeology/anthropology was my dad's career after all, and how to elicit understanding of legacy software across its life cycles) I've added a link here:
https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Maps#links--advanced-topics
Probably we can close this tkt now.
there was no need to remove readme.md; a rename would have been sufficient. or do nothing if you prefer software archeology/anthropology to enabling people with case insensitive file systems to work on this repo.
