Improve README.md with project status #19

Dear @jdum, thank God someone pointed me to your project. It seems quite active compared to other projects.

Before your project I only know odfpy and ezodf which are booth (nearly) dead.

Could you please update the README with a section describing your project organisation and the current status. It will help new contributors to decide about to which project to contribute or what the future plans are. I assume this is a one-person-freetime-project. But people need to know that, too. It will always help to know the humans behind a project. Are there others involved in that project? How many maintainers are there with admin rights to the repo?

It also would be great if you could write about your project relation to odfpy and ezodf if there is one.

Do you have any plans for the future?

Thanks for your remarks,

Actually, the README is the place were relations with other projects are listed.

In the "odfpy" project there is a discussion going on to reanimate the project. https://github.com/eea/odfpy/issues/123

If this happens maybe we can join our forces and resources?

It doesn't matter to me which one of the projects (odfpy, ezodf, odfdo, ...) will become main. But IMHO it is the best to join in a way.

Your repo seems to be the most active one or the only one really alive. ;) If you would write a bit more about how the project is organized and how the future good look like people contributors from the other projects would join "odfdo".

From my experience having a mailing list is a good place to start discussions about that and share opinions. I would suggest "odf@lists.python.org" just to be not to project specific with the name and invite everyone from all odf-related projects.
