Thanks for the reply. I certainly know where I can get such information, but I think a project's README is a great place to have at least a single sentence explaining what the project is. Moreover, I suspected other HN readers may also not know what it is offhand and would find a quick summary in a comment here (such as the other reply above) useful so that each person doesn't need to perform the extra step to Google it.
