[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Suggestions for improving Evergreen's HTML README for online readers

Beginning with Evergreen 2.1.0, the HTML version of the instructions is generated from the README file in the source tarball using a program called ASCIIDOC, so the text should be the same.  For previous releases, the README and wiki page versions differed considerably from each other.  The webpage version has been oriented to new users of Evergreen (and Linux), and the README has tended to make more assumptions about the knowledge of the user.  Now that they are the same, I'm sure there are some things that should be added to the README, and I know your suggestions or contributions would be welcome.

Hope that helps,

Chris
