Description

@davidak

We at @Codeberg-org would like to suggest to our users to create README and LICENSE files, so the repos are more useful for the community.

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/293
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/414

The GitHub design team always does a good job, so i suggest to do it as they to.

Show hints for readme and license with option to create them in webui.

Content should contain:

  • readme helps viewers to understand what a project is about, how to use it and how to contribute
  • an open source license makes it legally possible for people to use the project
  • write as Call To Action (like github did)
  • keep it short

I'm not a native speaker, so suggestions welcome.
