Hi, Currently we don't provide any README files for the repositories found on https://github.com/xwiki
There are several remarks about this fact: - README is promoted by GitHub as the way to summarize your project. That green button "Add a README" won't disappear unless we create a file :) - All the other major organizations provide READMEs for their repositories, even if they have dedicated websites (a.k.a the README is not the only way to document your project). I think we should provide a README that contains just: - Summary for the repo - Links to the xwiki.org wiki about that particular repo -- the links should be general and easy to maintain -- they should facilitate access to devs for the most useful pages on xwiki.org, promoting development and contributions. I've created these proposals: - Enterprise https://gist.github.com/evalica/b439c6dc98ca109e1f5b - Platform https://gist.github.com/evalica/6431b99514d59bb7b66f - Rendering https://gist.github.com/evalica/79298c6830480eff321d - Commons https://gist.github.com/evalica/2affcfff5a4a40b418aa The custom parts for each repository are Summary, Documentation, Download. The generic parts are Release Notes, Tools, Community. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Caty P.S. For the LICENSE file we could just provide a link to the xwiki.org page, see https://gist.github.com/evalica/8d58ec8353a30cad3386 _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
