[gitorious] wiki automatically using install/readme files?
Dear developers, An idea suddenly dawned on me, would it be somehow possible to implement that the Wiki pages automatically imports the stuff from the README.txt/INSTALL.txt that many have in their projects? Would that be useful? I'm sort of thinking that could be a very nice thing, especially for the installation instructions..

Yngve, You mean to render a project-wide readme (wikis are project-wide)? Great idea! Anyone care to take a shot at it?

Yes I know wikis are project-wide, but perhaps each project could have one repository defined as "main repository", by default the first repository created. Then the wiki could pull from readme/install in that one. Or perhaps someone has a better idea. The reason was anyway that people already have written useful stuff in these install/readme text files, and it would be very nice if that could just be rendered on the wiki somehow. Writing these text files in markup formatting would make sense in my opinion. As an example, on github they show the readme content if that file exist in each repository view. That's on some level similar to what I was thinking of.

However, I think the wiki would be a perfect place to put project wide README, so I'm all for this! - M -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
