       Github has ruined the concept of a README bah!I find a project, I try to figure out build steps. I decide I want guidance. I look. Excitedly I type "cat README" and I get a marketing pitch formatted to be viewed as HTML.

       @silverwizard if the readme is a markdown file, it's a red flag.

       @jbcarroll @silverwizard Almost every github project has a README.md file, NOT a red flag, usually they contain useful information.

       Yeah, but they aren't usually a README, they're usually a short website about the project, should probably be an index.html

       @silverwizard @jbcarroll This may be true of Windows projects but certainly not of Linux, it is almost ALWAYS a README.md and sometimes there will be also a BUILD.md and an INSTALL.md but always a README.md and NEVER an INDEX.md.
