I'm sad of the fact that so many excellent open source/free software project have so strange presentation. The first question of the newcomer - WHAT is it - is often the most difficult to find out there. http://www.kerneljanitors.org/ is a good example. In your Readme we can read where is the todo list, where the bugs are tracked, whom to send ideas... sorry, but not a word about WHO you are and WHAT you are doing. I wouldn't look for it in pdf presentations... Reading such pages I'm feeling little bit like in the underground mafia - that I'm looking for some secret information :) > As for brief intro... > care enough to make a patch? ;-) Yes, why not. Could you apply it to the start page? Or something like that.
