Hi guys, can I have this assigned to me please?

[jeff-matthews]

@diazwatson, assigned to you. It looks like we still need to provide you with a README template before you can start work.

@dshevtsov, is there a template available?

[diazwatson]

Yes please.
From what I can see Readme files need to be created for all modules in m2 repo, then (once change merged) referenced in these 2 pages. Is this correct?

[jeff-matthews]

Yes, that's correct @diazwatson.

[dshevtsov]

@jeff-matthews, the template is in our internal wiki and has to be published.

[jeff-matthews]

@diazwatson, I attached the template to this comment. GitHub won't accept a Markdown (.md) file attachment, so I changed it to .txt. After you download it, just change the extension to .md.

Thanks for sorting that @jeff-matthews I think I have everything to start

[jeff-matthews]

No problem! Thanks for volunteering to work on this. I also created a public gist of the template: https://gist.github.com/magento-docbot/dfb8cc7db6519da14fc92b890d49b7d3

Make sure any links that point to devdocs contain the proper version in the URL. The template shows links with "2.1".

[jeff-matthews]

Thanks for pointing that out @keharper. I just fixed the gist, but the file attached to my previous comment still has the old 2.1 links.

Seemed like an unintentional closure via a closing keyword.
