​Thanks!

We were also discussing if it would be possible to enable a trusted user
group to edit the plugin descriptions displayed at the top of each plugin
pag
e, e.g. http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/AccurAssess/ "Carry out the
accuracy assessment of a thematic categorical map taking into account the
sampling design.
​" This would enable us to improve the plugin description without having to
ask each plugin author to update their description and upload a new version
of the plugin zip file.


Best wishes,
Anita
