[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#773072: Please provide documentation!

Package: libjs-autonumeric
Version: 1.9.12-1
Severity: important

I would like to thank you for packaging these javascript libraries for
Debian. Very useful.

Having said that, where is the documentation about these packages?

$ apt-file list libjs-autonumeric
libjs-autonumeric: /usr/share/doc/libjs-autonumeric/changelog.Debian.gz
libjs-autonumeric: /usr/share/doc/libjs-autonumeric/copyright
libjs-autonumeric: /usr/share/javascript/autonumeric/autoNumeric.js
libjs-autonumeric: /usr/share/javascript/autonumeric/autoNumeric.min.js


Please, include the documentation in the javascript package - it's on
the upstream website as readme.md. It would be nice if you provided
those examples on their website too.

Parsed documentation into other formats (eg. txt or html) would be a
nice bonus, but not required to close this bug.

- Adam

PS. I've set priority as important on purpose. Without documentation,
this library is difficult to use - you have to read the source code to
know what it is trying to do.

If other javascript packages lack basic documentation, please add it
to them too!
