Proposal: Unify the three README files

See original GitHub issue

Problem:

There are three README files

  • /docs/README.md - seen on the docs site.
  • /README.md - seen only in local checkouts.
  • /.github/README.md - used as the default readme on github, and only obvious there.

This leads to:

  1. drift and subtle differences between the docs.
  2. making contributions harder and more confusing.

Proposal:

Move ./docs/README.md to /README.md, and delete the others. Obviously, there would have to be consideration given to generating the docs site.

So which one is the correct README.md to follow, and most up to date???

Exactly! I’ve had PR #1167 open for a long time, but this project seems to be unsupported.

Basically, ‘./docs/README.md’ is mostly the most up to date.

Thanks for rising this issue. READMEs have been updated and should reflect the same usage instructions. I’ve answered as to why there are three READMEs in the PR.
