redundancy with upstream HACKING.adoc?

[gasche]

I wonder if this project is not redundant with the idea of having contributing-friendly stored directly in the upstream repo in the form of HACKING.adoc pages.

These pages barely existed (they had been unchanged for years) when the current wiki was created, so I'm not blaming anyone for thinking that an outside-the-tree document would be easier to build. But now that it is more active again, I wonder if the content that is being created here would not be better there: I think that being close to the source and versioned is quite helpful -- besides the visibility gains.

I agree that HACKING.adoc is a better location for this material. Would you like to move it over (with permission from the contributors)? Once the content is upstreamed we can delete this repository.

It's work to move it over, so I won't do it overnight, but sure, if we agree in principle, let's do it -- gradually.

I'll look at who the contributors are for each page and ping them as I go along.
