README.md:
As this document is mainly for normal users, and in Gitlab it's
displayed by default, it's the main entry point to get information when
someone get into the repo, either via web or cloned.
Added explanations about how to install and use NM and how to find the
documentation for users. Added brief info about how to report issues
and ask for help, with links to CONTRIBUTING.md to get more details.
Added brief link for potential contributors to read CONTRIBUTING.md.
People not familiar with open source projects might not be aware of it.
Deleted the "moved to freedesktop" message. After 15 years, people might
know yet.
Added brief explanation about the free software license.
CONTRIBUTING.md:
Added a link to the list of all communication channels, only mailing
list and IRC were listed.
Added detailed explanation about how to report issues and attach logs.
It also references the new tool anonymize-logs.py.
Added brief guidelines about how to start contributing choosing issues
from the tracker.
Fixed some small formatting issues and added a reference to nm-in-vm,
fixing the link to nm-in-container too.
MAINTAINERS.md:
Added explanation about how to triage and properly label the issues.
This is basically based on the kind-of-workflow that we already have,
but maybe it's a good time to check that it's correct or to propose
small changes (so, please propose changes in review).
By having a ".md" extension, gitlab renders a nice page instead of
showing as plain text.
Currently our README is pretty bad. Partly, because it doesn't get
shown nicely.
Rename. The file effectively was already markdown. The old file is
gone.
For this we also need to change the automake flavor to "foreign"
(See [1]).
