So you support the idea of the "about" tag. Paolo, is it ok for you? The 
plugin details would contain three well exposed fields: Name -> Description -> 
About.

This way we hit a translation issue. I guess I'll fastly implement something 
like in kde .desktop files as a last minute before the Big Freeze:
Name=Foo
Name[de]=Bar
Name[it]=Osteria

Tim, the Freeze comes at midnight UTC?
