Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnumeric

The gnumeric description in software-center needs improving. Whilst the first paragraph is good, the rest of the description is then devoted to the formats that gnumeric can handle. I would like to see more wrote about the program itself, as well as the formats it ca open.

Also the last paragraph - "Gnumeric is a GNOME application. GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) is a user-friendly set of applications and desktop tools to be used in conjunction with a window manager for the X Window System." is unnecessary. I would only keep the first sentence of it.

@Akshat
Are you sure this bug is in app-install-data, if it is in the package description, I thought it was in the package itself?

Andrew, Did you happen to send it to debian also?

"Gnumeric should be easy to use, but we're too timid to say that it actually is." Get rid of the penultimate paragraph too. :-)

Actually, gnumeric is now essentially a gtk application. No more gnome libs, except, optionally gconf.

Since this bug appears to have a trivial fix, I am confirming it as a papercut.
