From b800833ddc54773bd117aebd20058425a794b99a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Nicodemus Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2018 20:56:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Readme: Remove ref to old dev env blog post The old "Discourse as your first rails app" blog post points people in the direction of Vagrant, which is no longer maintained. That blog post now points people in the direction of guides that have been wiki-fied on Meta, which can also be replied to if there are questions. The existing setup guides appear to be relevant still, but the community wikis are probably better for new people to reference. If you ask me, though, there's a great debate here about whether or not setup documentation should live in this repo or on Meta -- but I don't have the answer for that. It's more important to get the effectively dead guide off the front page, since it's Hacktoberfest and I'm sure people want to contribute, but need a clear starting point. --- README.md | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index c90ee9304bd..e5de54ccffe 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -22,9 +22,13 @@ Browse [lots more notable Discourse instances](https://www.discourse.org/custome ## Development -1.
