The readme content is: ========================================== This file has been superseeded by the files in the doc folder. Please see doc/manual.html for futher details. If you are looking for install information doc/install.html is for you! If you do not have the doc set, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc ================================================ As is easy to see, the simple, one-click links goes to the correct place on the rsyslog project page. Reading you other comment, it looks like you consider any non-github ressource a failure. This actually is against the open philosophy of rsyslog. We don't want to tie in with any service, and while I would definitely like to reap benefits from github, I strongly do not want to become rsyslog depending on github. We never did this, and so we didn't bother when e.g. sourceforge had their really bad time and so on. I hope I have been mis-reading you in this regard. Having said this, I am still open to change README contents. In the past, this was not meant to be a web page replacement. This has changed now, so it defintely makes sense to add more pointers to the real ressources to it. I don't think - but am open to discussion - that README should replace all those ressources.
