Link to ports in other languages #19

Closed sschuberth closed 9 years ago

I think it would be nice if the README (after being converted to markdown format) would link to known ports of Ninka to other programming languages. The only port I'm aware of right now is JNinka.

what is wrong with using org mode? It is way more powerful than markdown.

I don't know org mode. I was mentioning markdown as that's what GitHub uses by default to convert the README(.md) to HTML with clickable links. However, it looks like GitHub would also be able to render org files. You probably just need to rename the README to README.org.

renamed README to README.org. References to other forks will not be added (at least for the time being).

For the record, please note that I was not talking about forks, but ports. Forks, as long as they are hosted on GitHub, are linked automatically. But ports naturally are not, as they are rewrites in other languages / for other platforms that to do share any code with the original projects.
