Please move all wiki articles into the repository // MOVE SHORT CODE SPEC

[fulldecent]

Please move all the wiki articles into the repository.

There are currently normative statements in the Wiki. Those should be under code control and should be open to discussion/PR inside this repository.

Requesting that these be copied as-is for now (even with broken links). And then everybody can help to clean them up together.

I myself have many corrections to make to those as per https://github.com/google/open-location-code/pull/463. And maybe if all the files are here this can help us make progress on all these things.

New documentation tree (using existing names) I plan to move things to. That will empty the wiki and then it can be turned off.

Existing files

• Documentation (renamed from docs)
  • reference
  • comparison.adoc: Comparison of location encoding systems (was previously in repo, got moved to wiki, move back)
  • specification
  • API.md: API requirements for implementations
  • olc_definition.adoc: Background/description of Open Location Code project
  • specification.md: Open Location Code technical specification
    • merge in API.md
    • merge in guidelines for shortening codes from the wiki

From wiki

• Documentation
  • README.md from Home - it will want some work adding in the other documents
  • Other implementations
  • specification
  • Naming Guidelines
• wiki
  • FAQ
  • Field Collection Data Practices
  • plus.codes website API
  • Supporting Plus Codes in GIS software
  • Supporting Plus Codes in your app
  • Using Plus Codes in spreadsheets
  • Who is using OLC?

Todo(@drinckes): Merge API.md and short code guidelines into specification.md, but I have to do some actual work now too.

Perfect, thank you. Hopefully this makes it easier to manage. I see

• [ ] Merge API.md and short code guidelines into specification.md, but I have to do some actual work now too.

Are there any other high-priority action items directly related to this wiki merge that you wanted to highlight now?
