It seems many packagers have committed new summary text for their
packages, and I thank you all for that.
Next on my list are insane descriptions. For instance, just take a look
at the description for enlightenment (many pages in length) and various
packages using ``quoting'' or ''quoting''. Many packages also try
to do
a bullet list using '*' or '-', usually with a random amount of spacing.
Question 1: Should we use '', "", or the UTF-8 quote characters? If we
use LaTeX style ``double'' and `single' formatters then it's trivial for
the session programs to either use ˵˶ or «» depending on the locale.
GNU is wrong and ` is not the mate of '. '' or "" or utf8 quotes
are
fine.
