Subject: A humble request to those announcing new packages, programs, etc.

As one who is using Cygwin and following the news in this list, but more 
experienced with Windows than with 'nix, I would like to see a 1 or 2 
sentence description in any new package announcement, be it official or 
preliminary.

About 4 of 5 of the program names I see posted, I've never heard of, but I 
might realize the possible usefulness of some of them if I did know.

Thanks
