Looking over the README, it contains information for developers and users. So, we have a README, user and developer manuals, and a wiki. This information is clearly for developers, maybe it should go in the developer manual or on the web site in the developer guide section[1]. It almost seems as if there are too many documents. Maybe get rid of the README, and instead have a CHANGES document that details the differences between releases. Then, in addition, have a user and developer manual in the distribution, and make those document also available from the web site. Three documents instead of four, each having their own distinct purpose.

I'll start the voting: A) +1 because I don't know how much information might be needed and the information might change for different versions of Accumulo. Also the README might wind up with many OS-specific sections. And, lastly because I've already done it. :)
