This brief intro should be on the page! http://kerneljanitors.org/ looks very
unfriendly - they don't even have one sentence to present what they are doing.

There's readme, "irc talk" and links to two presentations.
As for brief intro... care enough to make a patch? ;-)

Hi Kernel Janitor,

sorry for responding so late.

I'm sad of the fact that so many excellent open source/free software
project have so strange presentation. The first question of the newcomer - 
WHAT is it - is often the most difficult to find out there.
http://www.kerneljanitors.org/ is a good example. 

In your Readme we can read where is the todo list, where the bugs are
tracked, whom to send ideas... sorry, but not a word about WHO you are and
WHAT you are doing. I wouldn't look for it in pdf presentations...

Reading such pages I'm feeling little bit like in the underground mafia -
that I'm looking for some secret information :)

Yes, why not. Could you apply it to the start page?
Or something like that.
