+Exactly.
+
+&gt;<i> 1. Descriptions in RPMs
+</I>&gt;<i> Whenever somebody finds a missing or bad description in a package he
+</I>&gt;<i> should send a mail to the packager, ideally with the description, so
+</I>&gt;<i> the packager only has to C&amp;P it into his package.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Yep.
+
+&gt;<i> 2. What can we do to improve the package description in the
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;Individual package selection during system installation? Most
+</I>&gt;<i> descriptions there only say &quot;Important&quot; or &quot;Comfortable&quot; or some other
+</I>&gt;<i> nonsense like that. I really wonder who on earth had that idea!
+</I>&gt;<i> We need descriptions of the package, what it does. The description
+</I>&gt;<i> should be available for translation, so that according to the set
+</I>&gt;<i> language the user sees the package description in his language.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+I guess the &quot;Important/Comfortable/...&quot; tag comes from rpmsrate
+accoording to if they are installed by default, 2. if enough room
+or just available.
+
+
+&gt;<i> 3. The same is needed in rpmdrake.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> In other words:
+</I>&gt;<i> We need a way to add descriptions to packages. These descriptions must
+</I>&gt;<i> be available for the installer in &quot;Individual package selecteion&quot; and
+</I>&gt;<i> there must be a way to have .po files for the translators.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+We already have the translation support of rpm summaries in place,
+but most translation teams have not touched them (or only little)...
+See: <A HREF="http://mdk.jack.kiev.ua/stats/doc/trunk/po/">http://mdk.jack.kiev.ua/stats/doc/trunk/po/</A>
+
+&gt;<i> Is there something which can be done without passing the ball to and

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Suggestions and preferably patches welcome :)
