Richard has pushed very hard for getting descriptions upstream - you may have seen his repeated posts on this topic. And we have made quite a bit of progress. But getting every application equipped with a good description, screenshots, and other metadata will take some time, and some help from the packagers and maintainers of those applications. > I think the current state will make Fedora look limitted for new > Fedora users.
