            Bug ID: 69208
           Summary: Document specific instructions for Windows install
           Product: MediaWiki-Vagrant
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: easy
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General

The basic steps are very similar for installing on Windows and a un*x platform,
but there are small and subtle differences that should be explained in the
README document. For example:

* What commands to run in a cmd.exe shell versus a git-scm bash session
* Directory mapping terminology differences between Windows and un*x
* The need to install git

It would also be useful to Windows users to have README renamed to README.txt
and stored with Windows newlines so that it will open in Notepad via double
clicking and be readable.

Windows instructions should be kept in the same readme so that they do not
drift from the un*x documentation.
