Short descriptions are not in the db, and I have no real mysql skills, so this will only be doable if another admin has the time. Before anyone jumps in to offer a one-liner or some such, this requires more than just adding the current short descriptions to the db. The submission form and

Hi. I was reading the categories/tags discussion. I think people would mostly browse SBo by Category, if they just want to get an idea of what's in the repo or casually looking for something that may be useful. The problem is that the programs' names are often not related to what the software
