Hi all, as you probably know, I'm a big fan of github :-) I've added README.md files to some of our components. It should make the github repositories more welcoming for github contributors. There are a variety of services available which integrate nicely with github repositories:
- Travis CI build service [1] - coveralls.io coverage service [2] - Latest maven release [3] - shield.io license badge [4] This services can be activated and a nice badge can be added to the README.md. I really like the combination of the travis and the coveralls badge, because it will build and evaluate coverage for PR requests automatically. This way you don't have to look at PR which break the build or have a negative impact on the coverage. I've activated these services for my commons-lang fork [5]. If nobody has objections, I would like to add this to the README.md generation target in the commons-build-plugin. Note that travis and converalls have to be activated by a INFRA. I've already seen jira requests for this, which have been resolved by INFRA, so this should not be a problem.
