Hi! Some of you might have already noticed that github[1] does provide some basic support[2] for Org-mode files. Therefore you can use files like «README.org» instead of «README» or «README.txt».
I started to use Org-mode format for readme files recently[3]. I realized, that there is only partial support of Org-mode syntax on github. In order to test those settings I ended up in committing various tests in my project just to look how github presents my readme file. Today I created a simple github project for testing purposes (only): https://github.com/novoid/github-orgmode-tests Probably you might have the very same demand for testing and want to join me in using this Org-mode-github test repository instead of creating one for your own :-) PS: is there an already existing Org-mode demofile containing all basic syntax examples? 1. http://github.com 2. https://github.com/github/markup#readme 3. https://github.com/novoid/Memacs -- Karl Voit
