-This directory contains documentation salvaged from https://wiki.rpki.net/.
-
-The original source format is Trac wiki, but the Trac instance in
-question is ailing, some of the plug-ins it uses are obsolete, and
-Markdown is more commonly used for this sort of thing these days in
-any case, so extracting this from the ailing Wiki seemed advisable.
-
-The numbered files in this directory were extracted by a Python script
-(included). Several kinds of files are present:
-
-* .wiki files, containing the raw Trac Wiki page text;
-
-* .md files, resulting from feeding the HTML version of the Wiki pages
- into an automated HTML-to-Markdown translator;
-
-* various graphics formats (.svg, .jpg) holding images which were
- used inline in some of the Wiki pages; and
-
-* .zip files, containing attachments to the Wiki pages.
-
-In some cases the attachments in the .zip files will be the same as
-the image files, but not always. What you see is what there was.
-
-There are two main problems with this documentation at present:
-
-1. It's for the old version of the RPKI code (branch old-trunk) rather
- than the current version (branch master).
-
-2. The translation to Markdown almost certainly needs some help from a
- human being, what's here is just what html2markdown could do.
-
-Nevertheless, the content recorded here was a fairly complete manual
-at one point, and it would almost certainly be a lot easier to finish
-the conversion and bring it up to date than to start over.
