Great module. Simple indeed. Thanks.

In module tarball file README doesn't have a file type extension. Should be README.TXT

Please find attached screenshot.

Nope, it should be called README. Just because Windows likes to have file name extensions doesn't mean the world needs to bend to its will. In the happy Microsoft-free land that I live in, extensionless files are just fine, especially when they are named common names like README, INSTALL LICENSE, etc. Sorry, but this one is getting smacked down by the Linux bigot.

http://drupal.org/node/161085 - It is a Drupal standard to be called README.txt.

Indeed nancyw. According to Drupal standard (http://drupal.org/node/161085):

Following is a set of guidelines specifically for Drupal Modules that are to live in the Drupal contributions repository. ... All but the most simple modules should come with a README.txt file.

In other words, the Drupal community consider the README.TXT file as a minimum requirement to live in the Drupal contributions repository.

Opening a README file without the .TXT extension might be obvious for a programmer but it isn't for many new users.

Assigning to myself. Renaming README, UPGRADE and LICENSE should be straightforward.
