Relative scala newbie here. This looks pretty nice, thanks!
I think I'm not alone in learning to use new languages and libraries primarily by inhaling example code. Why not provide a couple relatively trivial programs, and then a couple non-trivial ones to demonstrate some particularly powerful / elegant aspect of your approach? It's good advertising too.
Also, github lets you use README.md with markdown formatting, to make the readme more legible / fancy.
I wrote a card game (Ambition) back in 2003 and I'm considering OSing the rules to that, in Scala. That might be a better read for intro Scala because the space (in a card game) is more closed. This is more abstract, with the NodeT's and EdgeT's.
this is complete text of 1st edition, written for scala 2.7. Probably about 1/4 of the text is unchanged between editions, maybe less, but will give you good feel for writing style, depth of coverage.

Odersky's Scala book, by the way, is really good.
Which book? Could you edit in a link? Thanks!
This would be it: http://www.artima.com/shop/programming_in_scala

The 2nd edition is an excellent learning and language survey resource. Also, the books' index is superb.
