Projects should link to source, documentation etc...
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Projects does a great job of grouping tasks under a project, but 99.9% of the time I find that:

  • I'd like a 'browse source' button to go straight from the project page to the source code. This could be a repository or repository path.
  • I'd like to be able to go straight from the project page to some documentation. There are two ways I see this happening:
    1. Docs generated by 'diviner' can be linked to a project, so that the project page might display (or at least link to) the docs
    2. If a project is given the ability to know what code base it refers to, then any README.md file could be displayed on the project page in the same manner that diffusion will currently render .md files it encounters when browsing the repo.

Not having the ability to easily relate a project (and therefore any tasks relating to it) to the codebase and documentation it refers to is currently a major barrier for us...
