From 33d5b89d246c61e1a2a147ccaab8a5cfb0921d7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2021 10:47:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Merge #21210: doc: Rework internal and external links 77772a1b809e443a6861ee49009ff8bc55cff9c3 doc: Rework internal and external links (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: Some minor changes: * Move Bitcoin Core download link to the very top. *Reason:* The download link has nothing to do with the section that explains Bitcoin. Also, anyone quickly looking for the download link will find it faster. * Add a new link to the doc folder. *Reason*: Apart from the documentation that is shipped with the binary software, the doc folder is the primary location for Bitcoin Core related documentation. * Remove dead link to pdf. *Reason*: The pdf can be trivially found by asking a search engine. * Remove reference to "build server". *Reason*: There is no "build server". The CI system is explained in the next sentence in detail. * Remove dead? link to translation mailing list. *Reason*: The translation process is explained in `doc/translation_process.md`, no need to explain it in detail in the main readme.
