open-location-code Please move all wiki articles into the repository // MOVE SHORT CODE SPEC

Please move all the wiki articles into the repository.

There are currently normative statements in the Wiki. Those should be under code control and should be open to discussion/PR inside this repository.

Requesting that these be copied as-is for now (even with broken links). And then everybody can help to clean them up together.

I myself have many corrections to make to those as per https://github.com/google/open-location-code/pull/463. And maybe if all the files are here this can help us make progress on all these things.

New documentation tree (using existing names) I plan to move things to. That will empty the wiki and then it can be turned off.

Existing files

Documentation (renamed from docs)
- reference
  - comparison.adoc: Comparison of location encoding systems (was previously in repo, got moved to wiki, move back)
- specification
  - API.md: API requirements for implementations
  - olc_definition.adoc: Background/description of Open Location Code project
  - specification.md: Open Location Code technical specification
    - merge in API.md
    - merge in guidelines for shortening codes from the wiki

From wiki

Documentation
- README.md from Home - it will want some work adding in the other documents
- Other implementations
- specification
  - Naming Guidelines

Todo(@drinckes): Merge API.md and short code guidelines into specification.md, but I have to do some actual work now too.

Perfect, thank you. Hopefully this makes it easier to manage. I see

[ ] Merge API.md and short code guidelines into specification.md, but I have to do some actual work now too.

Are there any other high-priority action items directly related to this wiki merge that you wanted to highlight now?
