Joel,

Is this something we can get added to our github project page? I pointed them to github and vassalengine.org and they only mentioned the github page.

Could make our README a markup’ed README.md and add neat images with links to it like this YourKit thing.

And the current build status, all the cool kids have this in their README.md nowadays.

4

Sounds good. They will give us the license as soon as we can show them the updated page.

5

Is this something you can get done Yan? We only really need the Yourkit link at the bottom to start with and I can get the licenses sorted.

There you go: github.com/vassalengine/vassal/pull/150

The readme looks neat and modern now: github.com/yanlyub/vassal/blob/ … /README.md

Really looks great! I will get back to Yourkit as soon as Joel merges that in.

That company is in the next town over, maybe I should apply there… Would be sth different than the usual move-numbers-back-and-forth through the DB business software.

Thus spake Brent Easton:

Sounds good. They will give us the license as soon as we can show them
the updated page.

Go ahead and let them know it’s there.

I’m going to take this opportunity to redo the README, as it’s historically
been our release notes, but the way it’s displayed by GitHub isn’t really
appropriate for that—it’s more of a front page now, so should describe
the project.
