My suggestion was based on your statement, the README content should match the released plugin version. Maybe this isn't necessary at all. I don't see READMEs as the documentation of a plugin and so the README should be as up to date as necessary and should not match a months old release state. Just my 2cents. few other thoughts to this topic: * have an additional README.stable I think this would generate just many redundant information without real benefit. Additional, it could confuse users who are unsure which README to read. * and maybe generate an additional plugins.geany.org/svn/ Similar as above.

To avoid confusion: I was talking about the informations contained in the README file, not the content. I don't want any plugin developer to fit his README file 1:1 with the released file. I just was suggesting to be consistent with the behavior the actual released plugin behaves. And this is just a suggestion, no requirement. It's still up to the plugin developer how he maintains his README. :) Maybe this isn't necessary at all. I don't see READMEs as the documentation of a plugin and so the README should be as up to date as necessary and should not match a months old release state. Just my 2cents. Of course. Consistency with the described behavior and the up-to-dateness don't exclude each other. :) Regards, Dominic -- Dominic Hopf dma...@googlemail.com http://dominichopf.de/ Key Fingerprint: A7DF C4FC 07AE 4DDC 5CA0 BD93 AAB0 6019 CA7D 868D signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
