README is vague about what the protocol does

Protocol cannot be open source. It can have a full specification published. A protocol does not have a source code, it's something that its implementation can have. Also, what…

From 2 comments
That's a big surprise, I thoguht it's about sending audio and video somehow.
dozzie on HNOf course it doesn't need to be audio nor video. It doesn't change the fact that you used a term that has more than one meaning without providing any context in which to…

Sheesh, you are being way too harsh. But I too was confused by what this PJON thing was supposed to do, until I looked up i2c, because of this line early in the README: "It was…
