There was a relatively recent branding change from "SilverStripe" to "Silverstripe". This PR makes that change in the readme.

Note that the repository's description also still uses the old "SilverStripe" capitalisation.

Commendable effort @GuySartorelli though I think this thing specifically should be done by the product owner/product dev team as they can better distinguish the nuances where it should stay as Silverstripe and where it should become Silverstripe CMS or something else. It's not a plain and simple replace in all places.

@michalkleiner Oh! My understanding was that anywhere that isn't in a code namespace should have the lower-case "s". The brief description in https://www.silverstripe.com/about-us/our-brand/ implies that the lower case "s" is canonical for any time Silverstripe is mentioned:

You'll notice that there is no more capital "s" in the middle of Silverstripe. When we started out, the name Silverstripe came from a type of bamboo that clumps together, representing the idea of a community growing together to build the tools we need to create better web platforms. We're going back to our roots and removing the capital "s" to bring back the idea of working as one team that is helping organisations shape modern life through the lens of technology.

That said I'll hold off making any PRs for other repositories until someone can clarify this for me.

where it should stay as Silverstripe and where it should become Silverstripe CMS or something else

Just to clarify - the only change I'm making is swapping the capital "S" in "SilverStripe" to a lower case, making "Silverstripe" - I'm not adding, changing, or removing "CMS" or any other word/letter/phrase/etc.

Replacing S with s is ok though it may also need adding the CMS part to it or expanding to something like Silverstripe CMS and framework in some context or another, so I think it should be handled with a bit more context around it, not just a simple find & replace, if you know what I mean.

Happy to be told otherwise, too.
