taskflow/README.rst
Joshua Harlow 2f78ecf1cc Add appropriate links into README.rst
The oslo repositories are standardizing on a common
set of links to include in README.rst (which the
release note script will also use); so therefore we
should add our own set to match those other projects.

Testing and requirements
------------------------
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence
backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two
parts: - things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can't use
TaskFlow without them) are put into ``requirements-pyN.txt`` (``N`` being the
Python *major* version number used to install the package); - things that are
required by some optional part of TaskFlow (you can use TaskFlow without
them) are put into ``optional-requirements.txt``; if you want to use the
feature in question, you should add that requirements to your project or
environment; - as usual, things that required only for running tests are
put into ``test-requirements.txt``.
Tox.ini
~~~~~~~
Our ``tox.ini`` file describes several test environments that allow to test
TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements installed.
Please refer to the `tox`_ documentation to understand how to make these test
environments work for you.
Developer documentation
-----------------------
We also have sphinx documentation in ``docs/source``.
