Software Development/READMEs

Here's a recommendation of what to put in a README:

• A beginner’s guide to writing documentation - Write the Docs

Here are some example READMEs that have helped me plan mine:

• jxson/README.md
• PurpleBooth/README-Template.md
• zenorocha/README.md

Here are some other lists of READMEs:

• A Beginner's Guide to Creating a README
• matiassingers/awesome-readme
• repat/README-template

The initial README I came up with is here.
