chibenwa opened a new pull request #654:
URL: https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/654


   ## Why
   
   GitHub is an important place to get traction and READMEs are the primary 
document people look at.
   
   They should be both informative AND easy to read.
   
   My personnal feeling is that James README is polluted by too much 
information, not readable and misses most of the points.
   
   The download page suffers similar flows.
   
   I would like to improve the current situation with this humble PR.
   
   ## How
   
   The goal is to keep the same level of information on the README but link 
external pages rather than polluting the README with content not pertinant for 
most readers.
   
   Also I propose using badges at the top for important links: download, 
license, website, CI, documentation, docker hub, websites posts. Hopefully 
these contents would get more visibility.
   
   I drastically simplified the index in the README that was clearly 
overcharged to me (takes more than my screen!) thus unreadable.
   
   Finally I also sanitised the download page as stated in
