Description MZMcBride 2013-08-10 03:06:37 UTC 
Just putting a few notes here:

* MediaWiki extension project descriptions are all nearly useless
** mediawiki/extensions/Babel (MediaWiki extension Babel.)

* Descriptions are inconsistent
** Some end with periods, others don't
** AJAXPoll has an unusually long description, which makes the suggestion drop-down menu look silly

* May make sense to remove the project description in the suggestion drop-down menu altogether
** Unclear what value it's adding
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2013-08-10 05:17:27 UTC 
(In the long run having one central place for a project description (e.g. DOAP file in repository) and using it in Gerrit, Bugzilla, www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Foobar , etc... might be an option.)
Comment 2 Chad H. 2013-08-15 19:04:43 UTC 
I just drop a generic (and useless) description on a repo at creation time. I'm lazy and don't know what repos are going to be for.

Any repo owner can adjust their description. This metadata is stored refs/meta/config's project.config
