Dear Open Hub Users,

Ohloh should look at the top level of a project for files named README*, and should provide a link to such files from project pages. I'd love to have a read the README
link from every project page. (It should link directly to README, and provide a list of other files that match README*.)
Similarly, consider linking to files named NEWS (which provides a higher level overview of changes than a full changelog), INSTALL (if and only if it does not match the autotools generic installation instructions :) ), HACKING, FAQ, NOTES, TODO, HOWTO, AUTHORS, MAINTAINERS, CREDITS, THANKS, and COPYING.
Readily available links to some of these files may also help people fill out more structured information for a project in Ohloh.
Agreed; there's probably a lot of interesting, simple things we could do here.
Effectively, this requires us to allow you to browse the source code from our web site. We've wanted to make this happen for a long time, but it's taking us a while to get it engineered.
