Season of Docs: Request for port information

[Catherine Howley]

Hi Fiodar,

For the scope of this project (because I will run out of time otherwise!), I am only documenting ports that are currently supported and maintained.

However, under the new system you will be able to open a pull request to add a page to the docs. No need to be given access to anything :)

With that said.... if you would rather send me the information, I can work on a page for Symbian - it won’t form part of this initial documentation but I could add it in later.

Thanks for the reply!

Cheers,

Cadi
