For instance you might disagree with contents of > 00-about-docs.txt, and perhaps example.files/ should be deleted. The 'Warning about content' in 00-about-docs.txt is too crazy :-) Let's: - cleanup the files - remove obsolete information - move valid information to the man pages - add info about authors to the AUTHORS file I have updated the example.files/ in the master branch. > README.devel => Documentation/README.devel | 0 see below > .../ReleaseNotes}/v2.13-ReleaseNotes | 0 What about to rename the directory to releases/ ?

Documentation/howto-contribute.txt with info about "ideal patches", coding style.
