This seems pretty reasonable. ...Which leads me to a question: Is it common to discuss these kinds of changes on this list as opposed to just submitting a PR/JIRA and debating the change's merits there? ________________________________ From: Michael Han <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 21, 2017 7:32:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Discuss] Rename README.txt to README.md
Hi folks, I propose we rename README.txt to README.md (ZOOKEEPER-2880 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__issues.apache.org_jira_browse_ZOOKEEPER-2D2880&d=DwIBaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=V07zLXy_E8PWbo7ELpwwaA&m=rMAKNQByNx5ZgOKc1c0EWzOJi9ueGgFj1CiEDWpPg8o&s=GpDQr2jQObgdUuS4nt9NNXcKWmAK_dtAeRkVdTR3oEc&e= >), so github can render the mark downs which support better and richer formatting options than txt file. There are lots of existing Apache projects (e.g. Spark, Cassandra, ....) use md file instead of txt file for README, and I am not aware of any constraints that prevent us doing the same for ZooKeeper. Please let me know if you have any concern for such a change. -- Cheers Michael.
