Ummm, I'd probably say "collection of helper methods for Sinatra and
Mustermann" then :) Making it clear from the short description what
this "tool" aims to.

(still, terrible naming for a piece of software!)

I can tell you that it's quite clear that self.english.skills < 'native'
as well ;-)

To be honest, I did feel the same when I filed this ITP and I spent some time 
thinking of a better description. However, after reading the code, the 
description is probably the best one it can have. This gem basically bundles 
three or four different helper methods that are mainly to be used by Sinatra 
and Mustermann. I don't think I can find a better short description that 
conveys this fact. Maybe change "general purpose library" with "collection of 
helper methods".

What I can do is beef up the extended description to specify what all are the 
methods and clarify that they are mainly used by Sinatra and Mustermann for 
their specific code structure.

As English isn't my best attribute, I'm open to any suggestion you may have. 
Else I will make the changes mentioned above.

Umh, the name 'tool' is as generic as 'general purpose library'. Could
you provide a description that people would find useful to know
whether they could use this library (so that it's not _only_ used as a
dependency)?
