do you think that people who do not read README.adoc would rather read a README.txt file? I doubt that you'll reach those people with that file but it might be worth a try. I would name the file README without extension to better match LICENSE, NOTICE, VERSION etc..

Hi,

We often get questions from people not reading the basic documentation. Like not able to run Gradle because ignoring init-gradle-wrapper scripts. I know there will always people not reading the documentation. But maybe, to prevent most obvious questions and tempting RTFM answers, we could add a small README.TXT with basic information in OFBiz root. It would ultimately refer to README.adoc. Also saying that README.adoc can be read with a text reader tool. And it's easy to follow https://asciidoctor.org/docs/convert-documents/#converting-a-document-to-html

What do you think?
