Consider how many places docs, demos, and instructions can appear for one project: README within the project source itself GitHub wiki developer’s personal site external site just for project project listing page - like plugins.jquery.com With Masonry v1, my docs had sprawled out to several different locations. To properly update a page, I had to update it in three places: the documentation site, the file in the downloadable project and on another home page.
