I would like to echo this. More than twice, I've looked to a web page |
| 20 |
to learn a little more about a package only to find scant information, |
| 21 |
or worse, a dead link. |

I like this idea so much, that I'll offer to get it rolling. If it should |
| 24 |
be decided that this will be done, I'm sure that there will be quite a |
| 25 |
number |
| 26 |
of previously released packages which would like a longer description added |
| 27 |
to them. I'm only an engineer, not a software developer, but this is |
| 28 |
something |
| 29 |
I think I can handle. |
