I commend your efforts, but a small rant: One thing that really puts me off xda is that the posts say "open source" but there is no link to anything like how to build the distribution yourself. Just a frickin' binary zip download. And that's served over http from a random site, with no checksums and unsigned.
Only Replicant seem to be doing things the right way, but they are going so slow, and are so unwilling to use proprietary blobs anywhere that there's a space for something like you have here - blobs for hardware features only, no proprietary apps, strongly anti-Google, including F-droid by default - but it needs a bit of proper open source-style organization.
I am still using the blobs, but I was thinking about gradually replacing parts once replicant reaches a good-enough (e.g. samsung rild, have to try it though).
Btw, if you are interested in building the ROM add me on jabber (arty@jabber.ccc.de). I want to build the next version this weekend anyway and I may as well guide you through building roms, too. Plus I would appreciate help on porting to new devices :-P
[EDIT] I'm unhappy with the ROM scene, too. That's why I started my own ROM in the first place.

Sigh. The whole ROM scene is a big mess :(
