Bug#199612: ITP: minido -- A simple, generic, multi-user, database free todo list manager / tracking system written in GTK2
#include hallo.h * francesco levorato [Tue, Jul 01 2003, 11:45:56PM]: Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-01 Severity: wishlist Package name: minido Version : 0.3-1 Upstream Author : Michael Opdenacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://michaelo.free.fr/minido/ License : GPL Description : A simple, generic, multi-user, database free todo list manager / tracking system written in GTK2 The short description is too long, contains to many and not important adverbs that better belong into the long description, and you praise an internal feature (GTK2) which does not neccessarily has to say anything to a new user (but maybe to the upstream himself if he is proud of it). A simple, generic, multi-user, database free todo list manager/tracking system written in GTK2. Intro sentence copied from the short description. What is the point? Though Minido is still very young, it already give a key competitive advantage to major industry players like Texas Instruments... Like TI, leverage this new paradigm to proactively re-engineer your core processes and drive cross functional empowerment! I hope you won't write _this_ into description.

Like TI, leverage this new paradigm to proactively re-engineer your core processes and drive cross functional empowerment! Two things with your description: the long should not start with the short again, and the rest of the long description is effectively marketese bullshit which doesn't tell the person thinking of installing it anything useful. Tell people what features it has, not who else is using it. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Texas Instruments is a trademark. They may not like you using their name in apparent support for another product... -- --- #include disclaimer.h Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16

The description needs some fixing, since it certainly shouldn't read like a sales pitch with the name of a company that uses it included. The long description also should not include the short description, and the short description needs to be a lot shorter. Cheers Jonathan
