I am also in favor of keeping simpler library names. The latest dialog
works well on my side, pasting the table from the README.md as well. Great
work there.

I'll try in the next few days to get a README.md generated for each pretty
library.

As for copying the whole table at once instead of going into each
repository, would having an empty repository containing only a README.md be
a good idea?
