[docs on github] Lack of introductory note about the project #810

Open yoshi314 opened 4 months ago

yoshi314 commented 4 months ago

I haven't been using this project for a while, and one thing caught my eye as i returned.

The github page fails to explain what ThinStation actually IS nor what it can do. Neither does the wiki. There is only a small note on the right pane on the github page.

Only the thinstation.org page says what the project actually is ( which is accessed via the github via the wiki).

It would be nice to drop the assumption that the visitor of this project page is already familiar with it and add some explanation on what it does and what it can do, straight on the github project page. Just to make it easier for people getting started with it.

You have any suggestions for some copy that will do what you are looking for?

A copy from the text from the thinstation webpage would be good enough ( https://www.thinstation.net/)
