USWDS - Bug: Update capitalization of npm In README

[sarah-sch]

This issue is for the README which also updates the site Documentation page. Where possible, avoid beginning sentences with words like "npm" that conventionally begin with a lowercase letter. When it appears at the beginning of a sentence, capitalize the N in npm.

See this conversation in Slack for more context on the decision about why to capitalize the N in npm at the beginning of a sentence.

Looks like there is only one instance that might need changing, where it appears at the beginning of the sentence.

Any ideas on how we should rewrite that sentence so npm isn't the first word? If not, we can simply capitalize.

@mahoneycm - How about "Use the npm package manager for Node-based projects."?

@sarah-sch - I noticed that there's another use of npm at the beginning of the sentence in the same paragraph!

...and compiled files. npm packages make it easy to update and install the design system from the command line.

Taking a crack at rewriting both sentences:

The package manager npm can be used for Node-based projects. USWDS maintains the @uswds/uswds package that includes both the pre-compiled and compiled files. With npm packages, updating and installing the design system from the command line is easy.

Feel free to modify as you see fit!

Also, I found a sentence on the npm website where they actually start a sentence with npm without capitalizing.

About npm
npm is the world's largest software registry. Open source developers from every continent use npm to share and borrow packages, and many organizations use npm to manage private development as well.

For our site, its probably still better to continue avoiding using it at the beginning of any sentences but wanted to share!

@mahoneycm - does this re-write work?
Use the npm package manager for Node-based projects. USWDS maintains the @uswds/uswds package that includes both the pre-compiled and compiled files. We rely on npm packages to easily update and install the design system from the command line.

Alternatively (because I'm not sure who should be doing the action in the second sentence):
Use the npm package manager for Node-based projects. USWDS maintains the @uswds/uswds package that includes both the pre-compiled and compiled files. You can rely on npm packages to easily update and install the design system from the command line.

Or just
"Developers can rely on npm packages..."

Even if npm doesn't capitalize their name at the beginning of a sentence on their site, it's ok for us to follow our own style guide and capitalize when we start a sentence with "Npm."

@sarah-sch My initial hangup was with "npm package manager" because I hadn't seen it referred to it that way. It was always "the package manager, npm" or "npm is a package manager". I think because it reads like saying "ATM machine" since it gets it's name from "node package manager".

That said, I looked around and found that Node.js has said the same thing on their site:
