Asiri, the description of the field should not duplicate the name.

- The artifactId should be lowercase, no space, and have a specific
format (like xwiki-plugin-alexa); this is an identifier intended for
machines, to be able to identify and locate the artifact.
- The name should be like a breadcrumb, from general to specific, human
readable, separated by dashes (like XWiki Platform - Plugins - Alexa);
this is a human readable identifier (name) of the project, intended for
humans to quickly see what module this is.
- The description should be prose, describing what the module does. It
is intended to describe the purpose of the module.

I know that most of the modules simply use the name as the description,
but that does not add any useful information, thus it is wrong.
