Hi.
As https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50552#c0 explains, MediaWiki's current README file isn't as strong as it could be. Following discussion on that bug report, there's now a wiki page that can be used to freely edit MediaWiki's README: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/README.
In the past few days, I think significant progress has been made in cleaning up the README. If anyone has thoughts about what it should or shouldn't include, please feel free to reply on this mailing list, on the bug report, or be bold and contribute directly to the wiki page. :-)

Awesome! I went bold and made some changes. It already looks significantly better than our current README.

Hi.
Just noting here that https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/50552 has now been marked resolved/fixed. You can see a much improved version of the README here: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core#readme.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the README more focused and welcoming. Anyone and everyone should feel free to continue editing https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/README and it will occasionally be re-synced with the distribution file.
