I've checked each of your listed repositories and the information
in each of your <repository name>.txt files is in fact displayed
when installing into a local Galaxy instance.
That's good - so the wiki needs updating:
http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Tool%20Shed
This works only if
using the tool shed installation process, so for example, if
installing the venn_list repository, clicking "Install to local Galaxy"
in this screenshot:
Ah. I see now it just isn't doing what I expected - apologies for
any misdirection.
I had assumed if a README file was present, it would be shown
prominent while browsing on the ToolShed. On closer examination
of an example repository where there is a file named exactly
'README' (e.g. fubar's clustalw tool) that isn't shown either.
Is there any reason not to show the contents of the README file
(using the discussed name variations) on the main ToolShed
repository view, e.g. under a new yellow section header?
Thanks,
Peter
P.S. It would be nice to automatically line wrap the "Detailed
description", as in many cases the raw text doesn't do this.
For example, fubar's clustalw tool.
