The main idea - is creation the functionality for describing the project page using the README.md.

I plan to add the checkbox on a project editing page, that will ask the author of the project about using the README.md as a content for project page on Drupal.org. Then, if checkbox was set, parse the Markdown syntax to HTML according to current styles.

For parsing the Markdown I want to use the Parsedown.

Please see #1674976: Allow README.md to optionally render as the project page for other discussion and post patches there. I'll keep this issue open for the dev site itself.

readme-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org is building out and will be ready in an hour.

@drumm, can you help me with "VersioncontrolGitRepository" object? I have no permissions to check repo and want to know how I can find anything (*.md files) in project codebase.

Our www servers, like dev, don't actually have direct access the the Git repositories on disk. For example, packaging is done with a Git clone. The Git servers do bootstrap Drupal, invoking hook_versioncontrol_code_arrival() among other things.

For deployment, and any significant changes, we'll want to run this on all projects with a README.md to get the data into Drupal.org's DB. I'd rather run that from a web server than a Git server. So, please build this not relying on local Git files. I'll put a few notes in the implementation issue.

Is this site still needed?

At the current time - not. But could be needed in future.

I highly recommend any new work happens on a fresh dev site, we've improved the infrastructure quite a bit since this dev site was built out.

Okay. Drop this one.

Ok, this should be destroyed by end of today, hopefully noon pst.

I'll mark it fixed once it has been destroyed.
