Nice work :-)

Looks lovely; incidentally - if you parse the first line of the
*/prj/build.lst files - it gives you a dependency list of the modules
that are required by this module :-) [ though that may go obsolete in
the next year or so ]. Might be interesting to provide to give a flavour
of whether a package is a leaf-node ? etc.
I really like the links to cgit, it starts to make it rather nicely
integrated :-) It makes me wonder if we should have some nice syntax for
cross-module linking (or simplified file path links that can be turned
into cgit URLs) in the README's themselves ;-) [ if it's not broken, it
doesn't have enough features yet ].
As another wish - I wonder if we can link modules into the
http://docs.libreoffice.org/ doxygen documentation (that is if they have
any) - and assuming that is even the up-to-date place to find things :-)
Anyhow, you inspired me to add and expand a few more READMEs myself,
hope that helps a bit.
I imagine that a lot of the 'libfoo' things missing READMEs, can be
populated with information from the download pages, and a quick grep of
*/prj/build.lst to see which modules use them. There was also some
one-liner descriptions of some of that stuff here:
http://www.openoffice.org/external/
in the past :-)
Really encouraged by your work, good stuff,
Thanks !
Michael.
