Package: forg
Version: 0.5.1-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the package description for forg is in need of
a small amount of routine maintenance.
> Description: Graphical Gopher Browser
A perfectly good synopsis, except that there's no need to capitalise
every word. (It would be different if the package was called "ggb";
just what does FORG mean, anyway? Does anybody know?)
> forg is a new graphical browser for gopher written in python.
This has the opposite problem: the upstream name for this software is
"The FORG", and Gopher and Python are also entitled to some uppercase.
Meanwhile this is a good demonstration of why it's unwise to put the
word "new" in a package description. The FORG is now fairly old.

No major problems here, though I'm getting a bit tired of the word
"browse". So my suggested text is:
Description: graphical Gopher browser
The FORG is a graphical client for Gopher written in Python. It will
let you browse the world-wide gopherspace and handles various types of
media, including HTML and video.
(Oh, and I've accidentally trimmed some trailing whitespace.)
