So... How good/bad of an idea would it be for me to start a campaign wherein I open a "describe your effing software" issue on every public project in the world that lacks an explanation of the project purpose on the homepage, README, and doc introduction page?

My only hope is that it catches on via social media and the multiplier effect makes some non-zero portion of the developers fix their instance of the bug.
I don't quite have the community reach that I used to have via LWN, but it could still happen. Non-zero is greater than zero, at any rate.

@n8@identi.ca I suspect it wouldn't be long before the centralized host for decentralized development would suspend your account.
