There is no sane reason why description should be empty, so please just make it mandatory (and author/contact too (and possibly tags)). Re coverage: that would require that the user installing it actually understands how the metric was computed... e.g. call coverage != path coverage; also the usefulness and complexity of coverage will greatly depend on the used task. You can get 100% call coverage with some algo lib, but good luck getting there with UI. Likewise if the project is more diverse you can very easily skew it. Peter
