Hi.

From time to time, users complain about the description of the KDE packages in 
Debian. Sometimes is bad, others incomplete, or they simply don't found the 
name of the package searching in the descriptions. I suppose this problem is 
not Debian especific, because I suppose portage / urpmi / yum / whatever have 
similar functionality in searching packages.

For a lot of applications is easy to solve looking at docs.kde.org, but for 
other packages (for example, kioslaves, kfile-plugins, some libraries...) can 
be very difficult, especially if a maintainer doesn't use all applications in 
a KDE module.

Do you think it is possible and/or valuable to have some common _short_ 
descriptions (1 or 2 plain text sentences) for this packages? It would be 
good to free the packagers, or at least to coordinate them to reuse this 
work?

I'm posting this here, because I didn't know if should ask this to the 
kde-i18n-doc, kde-quality or kde-promo lists, so feel free to point me in the 
right direction.

Greetings.
