Project status utility

[Robert Köpferl]

Hi,
I just finished a project status reporting in html perl script.
It is intended to produce kind of report in html based on info-files 
which are spread over a repository.
It's output looks like the attached file.

It's input consists of files. In this case status.txt which are 
formatted like that:
-----------------8<-------------
Status: halted
Project: ROS.apps.gugu
Finished: 100%
TODO: there's nothing left
Maintainer: God
------------------

These files all are read, put together, computed and written as HTML-file.

I wrote that for a status page on the project homepage and hope it is of 
use and gets installed.

However there is surely improovement.
for example I am poor at HTML. Now it is a <ul> with tables inside. I 
think it would be nicer if it were with clickable [+]es. Maybe someone 
can post me a template.

I my experience, if such information is not stored very close
to the source then it will not get updated.
