It'd be nice if these sort of links on github went to a nice friendly "What the hell is Ack?" page. With a nice summary of the project etc. Like in the big green "Sign up to github" box maybe? So people can see at a glance what the project is about.
I know there's a README after some scrolling, but it's not really obvious. There's a load of hex strings which seem a bit premature, and a source list which again assumes I know what the project is all about...
I kinda prefer how google code shows things :/
