Use .md extension for txt files

I suggest using Markdown for the text files in the documentation. At the simplest level, simply using a .md extension instead of .txt would allow GitHub to render things like the Weekly Engineering Reports nicely when browsing the repository. Plain text is a subset of markdown, provided paragraphs are separated by blank lines (which seems to be the case at least for the weekly reports.

You are exactly right and we need to simply get in there and get it done. I was relatively late to the .md party, but I'm now a true enthusiast. I think we can make some progress here this weekend. Thank you for the encouragement and explanation!
