sarcastic rant/
It's interesting to me that the FOSS "community" has pockets in it that are very anti-community. "You get what you pay for". Does that mean FOSS is worthless? I bet there are a few developers who would take issue with that concept. So instead, FOSS is not worthless, but potential users are. So they better saddle up to Google and spend hours searching out descriptions, and explanations for those descriptions, because the packager didn't bother to take the time to throw in a useful description. Maybe I'm weirder than I think, but that sounds either selfish (I can be bothered with developing or packaging it, but not with providing a description so others might know what this is without reading forums and blogs and FAQs and stone tablets) or elitist(if you can't tell what it is by the title, you're clearly too stupid to benefit from installing it), or lazy (I coded it, I packaged it. Any you want a description too?? Do I look like a freaking developer to you???)
I know. We need a standard. A standard description for all maemo packages. Maemo can lead the way in better standardization of packages for all the FOSS projects of the world!

How about this for the first draft RFC?

Package Description -
Code, to do stuff, when executed properly on the appropriate hardware.

That covers every line of code ever written, or to be written, for anything. Now these poor over-worked, under/not paid and under-appreciated developers and packagers can spend their time doing things that will really benefit the FOSS community.

Boy that was simple to resolve. Whats wrong with you all that I had to do all the work and solve this for you?? /sarcastic rant

And for those of you wondering, I have the cacti scars to validate my BA in Sarcasm and the obligatory minor in Hilarity, which is an advanced study of humor.
