Process of documentation for a new RIOT-OS port

Hi there,

today I provided a pull request for my port of RIOT-OS to ESP8266.

Now the question is, whether I should already start to document it in the wiki or to wait until it is merged.

Even though I documented on how to install the tool chain and how to use ESP8266 in a README.md file in the cpu/esp8266 directory, my understanding is that it is usually documented board-wise in the wiki.

Regards Gunar

Hi Gunar,

there are some efforts to improve end-user documentation [1] which includes shifting board-documentation from the wiki to Doxygen [2]. Even though I personally tend to keep the toolchain related stuff in a wiki, we should try to trigger this discussion in [1]. Would you mind to do so?

Best Peter
