I feel that the gist mentioned in the description 
(https://gist.github.com/mstr2/9f46f92c98d3c86aa6a0b4224a9a6548 ) has value for 
the application developers (after updating it with the current detail), but 
once this PR is integrated it will be hard to find (and located in a private 
repository).

There is a bit of overlap between the gist and the CSR, but CSR has a much 
narrower focus.

It is my personal opinion that the gist should be moved to doc-files/jeps or 
doc-files/application-notes, in other words, in the documents in the repo.

If I recall correctly, @kevinrushforth is against this idea, saying that 
documentation belongs in a wiki somewhere, but I disagree.  Markdown is a good 
format that provides a reasonably nice visual rendering and is compatible with 
the code review tooling, so it can be reviewed as a part of the code review.  I 
don't like wikis in general because they become obsolete quickly, are hard to 
maintain, and are not linked with the code.

What do you think?
