Clean up outdated GitHub wiki pages #408

Description

@wilke

Summary

The GitHub wiki contains 6 pages that are outdated, redundant with in-repo documentation, or both. The repo docs/ directory is the maintained source of truth and was recently updated (fee7725). The wiki should be cleaned up to avoid confusion.

Current Wiki Pages

Page Last Edited Status
Home.md Apr 2014 Outdated. Says "still very much in development. Be patient and contribute."
License.md Apr 2014 Redundant. BSD-3-Clause text already referenced in repo README.
Shock-Clients.md Sep 2013 Very outdated. References a shock-client CLI that no longer exists, uses port 7044 (not 7445), and old Globus Online auth.
Data-Types.md Jul 2015 Superseded by docs/Data-Types.md which now documents the current Types.yaml system.
API.md Sep 2019 Duplicates docs/API/api.md in the repo. Contains a typo (/inde/ instead of /index/).
Authorization.md Sep 2019 Duplicates docs/API/Authorization.md in the repo.

Note: TODO-List.md was already deleted — all items from 2012 had been addressed.

Proposed Action

  • Delete all 6 remaining wiki pages

  • Replace Home.md with a single line pointing to the repo documentation:

    Documentation has moved to the docs/ directory in the repository. See the getting started tutorial.
