Re: Convert README.org to plain text README while installing package

[Jean Louis]

It was not the point if file is readable by computer program named text editor.

The point is if it is readable for human.

There are many Emacs users who don't use Org. They are not supposed to decipher 
brackets, properties, links, and lack of authors' sense in writing Org files in 
human readable manner.

This whole subject is related to accessibility, Org files could be accessible 
and thus well readable if they would be just simple text without any markup, 
without  headings, but they are practically not so. Authors write headings 
without space to its paragraph, it destroys the original meaning of the 
heading, file does not convey the intended idea unless you are Emscd wizard.

Difficulties in reading reject users.

I will give you examples later.
