Old README in need of an update? about rocker HOT 4 CLOSED

Yup, README definitely needs an update. I'm happy to just have the README
link to the wiki, though in my experience more people tend to check (&
maintain) the main repo READMEs than they do the wikis.

still refers to the old repo etc pp.

Should the content be in the wiki instead?

We generally need to update / fill-in a few of the README.md files.

Agreed, definitely two-sided sword. But the sub-README files tend to get stale too :-/

Right r-base/ has one (as a copy of the top-level one), and rstudio/ has this one in need of work. The other directories need at a stub. Shall we just copy to the top-level short one around? Maybe with an added link to the Wiki?

Yeah, I assumed the main reason we had sub-readme's was because they're
what shows up on the docker hub page for the repository. I'd be happy
replacing them with a link to the Wiki

Done in 85c13b4.

All the subdirectories now share the same (very basic) README with an added link to the Wiki,
