Reference links in generated project
See original GitHub issueRelated to #279
After a quite involved brainstorming with @bclozel we came to the conclusion that rendering links in the front page is the wrong call. There are a lot of information on this page already and the prototypes that we’ve built clearly show that it does not help at all.
Our reasoning is that we must support our goal to let users work in their IDE as soon as possible and not forcing them to stay on the page to collect URLs. We believe that generating a markdown/asciidoc at the root of the project with some information would be quite interesting. As a first iteration we could render the links, if any.
I am not sure that we want to call that README.md
and it should probably be in the .gitignore
for the time being. Maybe HELP.md
?

I think people might want to commit it. Having links to the documentation/guide for each thing that’s being used could be useful for people joining a new team, for example.
I am in favour of it being
README
.Another +1 for Markdown.
Let’s go with
README.MD
