On a related note, what does everyone think of removing /test and using
/tutorials for cross language testing instead. This could make the tutorials
more robust and keep from having duplicate code samples in tests and
tutorials.

+1 brilliant, really.

Hey Roger
Excellent discussion thread to start, this is one key area we have
struggled with for awhile.

Thoughts on moving them all into /docs and naming them appropriately? I
think this would be a better approach and make it easier to link and cross
reference between the docs and would make it easier to add all of them into
/docs on the website. Having all of the documentation spread across the
codebase will also make small updates harder and for new users to search
for information. If everyone is in favor of the README.md files in each
specific location then we can come up with something to map and filter them
into content for the website.

On a related note, what does everyone think of removing /test and using
/tutorials for cross language testing instead. This could make the
tutorials more robust and keep from having duplicate code samples in tests
and tutorials.

Hi Jake & co

Do you have any trick to integrate some readme's located within the source
tree?

Source file: Web Site URL:
test/README.md                                     thrift.apache.org/test
test/STATUS.md
thrift.apache.org/test/status
test/keys/README.md                          thrift.apache.org/test/keys
lib/<lang>/README.md                         thrift.apache.org/lib/<lang>
lib/<lang>/test/README.md               thrift.apache.org/lib/<lang>/test
lib/<lang>/examples/README.md   thrift.apache.org/lib/<lang>/examples
compiler/cpp/README                          thrift.apache.org/compiler
debian/README
thrift.apache.org/debian
contrib/<topic>/README                     thrift.apache.org/<topic>

Name consistency is another topic...
What about renaming all README files to README.md and start use markdown
all
over?

Other stuff to integrate or align in some way:
./tutorial/README
./tutorial/erl/README
./tutorial/java/README
./tutorial/ocaml/README
./README

All the best!
