can we add a description to each archetype (or for the selected archetype) in the project wizard to describe the archetype to help users select the right one?

The archetype-catalog from camel and fabric8 has a description.

I guess we may need to talk with the forge guys how/if project-new can leverage that. Or if we ponder about the web only, then one way or the other we may need project-new to somehow provide the description in its model. So we can tap into that and show somehow on the web.

For example as a tooltip for a starter.

I cant remember but I think I reported something about this to the forge guys. As project-new is out of the box, then we can't influence it.
