Hi all,

I see that there's bits of documentation here and there, sometimes it's
duplicated in several places:
 - Source code (README file, server-config.xml description tags, comments
inside sh scripts...)
 - Confluence wiki at apache
 - WaveProtocol.org site
(not sure if I missed any place else?)

This can be a bit confusing, so I suggest deduplicating the
documentation. If more people agree with this point of view, I offer myself
for the task.


My suggestions would be:
 - Keep docs closely related with code, in the code repository. This
prevents version mismatching. E.g. how to build the code, how to configure
it, how to run the server...
 - Keep the rest of stuff in the confluence wiki. This is stuff that will
change very rarely. E.g. whitepapers, FAQ, generic user-facing
information...
 - Remove all duplicated docs from waveprotocol.org site. and point to the
apache wiki (I'm not sure what's the actual status and purpose of the
waveprotocol site?).
 - Whenever something is moved from the apache wiki to the code repository,
provide a link to a browsable version of the relevant repo file. E.g. "For
more info, see https://github.com/apache/wave/blob/trunk/README";.


Please voice your opinions. If nobody opposes in the next few days, I'll
start working on it. All suggestions are welcome :-)
