RE: A humble request to those announcing new packages, programs, etc.


I'll be glad to second this request. My cygwin bin contains 561 files.
I'm willing to bet that I've never used about half of them, and never
heard of about a quarter. A short description would be really useful.

As one who is using Cygwin and following the news in this list, but more

experienced with Windows than with 'nix, I would like to see a 1 or 2 
sentence description in any new package announcement, be it official or 
preliminary.

About 4 of 5 of the program names I see posted, I've never heard of, but
I 
might realize the possible usefulness of some of them if I did know.

Thanks
