Hi,
In Boost.Geometry we recently added a readme file (currently only in develop branch http://github.com/boostorg/geometry/tree/develop) and some basic wiki.
From one of the discussions (by Mateusz Loskot):
What I'd suggest is to create README.{md|markdown} file in root directory of geometry repo: have big heading on top
[LOGO] Boost.Geometry
The readme could also explain briefly what's around, what is include folder, what is example, test folder. and link to the main documentation and wiki pages.
GitHub has somewhat 'trained' people there always is a README file (seehttp://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven- development.html) so many users expect to use it as a first contact with a project.
I believe having those files in all submodules would have a positive impact on the GitHub community and the users. Furthermore the style of those files could be more or less unified. Therefore I've prepared semi-consistent set of logos for some of the libraries: http://github.com/awulkiew/boost-logos. I decided to achieve the consistency by using the Boost logo as a base.
Adam,
thanks for trying to improve the artwork. That said, while I am not particularly proud of the logo at
http://www.boost.org/doc/display_build.php/boost-build/ boost-build/
I would say I still prefer it to the use of bricks metaphor, as you have in build logo.
Sure, but do you like the idea of using the Boost main logo as a base? Would you like to figure something different out or just to use your version of the logo?
I suspect that using Boost logo as a base for components will end up in too busy artwork in many cases. It might be better to just reuse font and colors.
Does the triangle on the right represent something?
