This looks really good. It's a great improvement.<br>
<br>
I would like to pick this up and work on getting all of the README files <br>
updated and standardized on all of the apps/components.<br>
<br>
It was my intention to pick this up once the goodies.x.o migration was <br>
completed and the gitlab migration is a good motivation for me to learn <br>
the new workflow.<br>
<br>
I would also ensure that automake is updated as well.<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to work with the devs to make these docs pretty... ;-)<br>
I will start opening issues on gitlab and working with the devs.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kev<br>
