Talk:README

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

what about the history of the Readme file? how was the name chosen and why? was it always the standard or did it evolve?

According to the Jargon File the name was originally an allusion to the Alice in Wonderland story.

Hi, should we link the articles "Readme" and "Man_page" to each other? Seems useful as both are on documentation, but are representative of the 2 worlds (*nix and win32). Nobodyspoke 03:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I came across a file called DO_NOT_DELETE.ME —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.126.40 (talk) 06:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
