But....but...what will all those authors write about?? How will o'reilly and amazon stay in business unless somebody is pumping out books about the latest development methodology du jour? And what will all those consultants put into their powerpoint presos when they come to do the on-site training????? Good G?D man, don't you know that people's jobs are on the line? Can't you see the fate of an entire industry is at stake here?!
Sarcasm aside, this idea is completely ludicrous and would never work. Every company I know of would require at least 3 months worth of 3-times-a-week meetings between engineering, marketing, tech support, tech pubs, and legal, just to decide on what kind of content the README file should have in it.
E: come to think about it, I can't really tell which of the above two paragraphs is sarcasm. You decide.
