[Jsonar] Revision History in the Readme

[Yamuna Jivana dasa]

Hi  Vic,
My feeling on it is that as long as the readme has been updated to include 
any keystrokes changes, new functions, Etc, then the revision history 
wouldn't matter much.
For example, when we change the Control Numpad Slash to bring up the 
right-click full blown context menu to the Control Applications key, that 
new keystroke needs to be reflected in the help and readme.
We don't need to see the details. Just the information be updated. Anyone 
who, let's say, gets confused about new functions or changed keystrokes or 
whatever, can simply refer to the help or readme, which really needs to be 
updated.

Anyway that's my take on it.

Alternatively if we are seriously going to stick with revision history, 
which as I say I don't think is necessary provided that every change is 
reflected in documentation and help, then you should find out if all those 
people who do translations will really be happy to translate everything. If 
not just keep the revision history in English.

So there's my thinking on the matter. <smile>
