In Visual Studio 2013 Pro, is there a way to have a README.md for the root solution? We have a rather large solution and I'm trying to create a main README.md that can give an intro of each of the projects and a link to their READMEs.

To add an existing project to a solutionIn Solution Explorer, select the solution. On the File menu, point to Add, and click Existing Project. In the Add Existing Project dialog box, locate the project you want to add, select the project file, and then click Open. The project is added to the selected solution.
You have to go to Tools > Options > Project and Solutions > General , where you can see “Always Shows Solution” is Unchecked. Once you checked “Always Shows Solution” , you will able to view the Solution file with in solution explorer. Note : By default “Always Shows Solution” is Checked.
I know this was asked a few months ago, but in case people find this question as I did, I'm giving my answer. You can right-click the solution, click Add, New Item..., and then create a text file called README.md. It will create the file in a folder called "Solutions Items" in the Solution Explorer, but that folder would not be created in your project file structure. So it is like a logical folder only.
Also, it seems that if you clone or fork a project that already has a README.md file for the solution, VS2013 does not automatically display it in the Solution Explorer. You have to include it there through Add, Existing Item....
