It's something that would describe it in a concise way for any site that wants a description of Habari. It would be good to have a standard version that we could use various places. Even random sites like Transifex want you to describe your project, and I know it's a pain every time I end up having to make something up on the fly. If you search for "Habari" on Google, one of the top results is the old Google Code repo... another place where a concise description would have been beneficial, instead of going on about what "Habari" means. In a totally unrelated matter, I wonder if we could get rid of that site entirely... -- -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "habari-users" group.
