Tried to simplify the document, to reduce unneded info, and to use a less
informal language.
For example, the introductory links describing git made sense 10 years ago.
Today they are not needed to understand what Etherpad is.
And mercurial was always better than git, anyways :)
The mailing list and the IRC channel seem pretty dead by now. Let's just
move everything to Github issues, which was the de facto situation anyways.
About the donation links: I am the maintainer, and I do not know the identity of
the owners of the donation links, so it is correct to remove them. The same was
done on the website three months ago:
https://github.com/ether/ether.github.com/commit/d4ef04605da5
Do not touch vendorized files (e.g. libraries that were imported from external
projects).
No functional changes.
Command:
find . -name '*.<EXTENSION>' -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//'
No more merge commits in the PR: we want to be able to bisect easily.
Probably the whole doc needs to be updated. Also, we need to have templates for
PRs and Bug Reports, and they have to be described in the document.
Fixes#3454
