I was referring to the README in the last RC to be the one of the source distribution. I was suggesting to create a README-binary with instructions on how to use the binary and to include that instead of the source one in the binary distribution.
By the way ... we could also move the NOTICE-binary and alike into a distribution/src/assembly/resources directory and there they won't confuse people.

As we as ASF only provide source releases, the README should still point to that instruction. But on the homepage (where we'll have to place a download link) we can also write how to run the binaries. For everything else, I agree.

I remember quickstart requires users to compile source code then use it instead of using binary directly. It's inconvenient for many users. The documents still have little mistakes. I think the following steps should be followed in order to avoid mistakes. First, we should develop a uniform way of writing documents. Second, someone opens an issue for writing a specific document and assign it to someone(seem like I don't have the right to assign an issue in apache Jira and there are still many issues not to be assigned). third, someone reviews the documents. Boris.
