Potentially misleading project/package description? #303

Closed bitfehler closed 2 years ago

bitfehler commented 2 years ago

Hey there,

I really hope this doesn't come across as rude, but I was really confused by the way this project presents itself. The brief description of your packages in both Alpine and Arch Linux is "Console carddav client", which I assume is taken from here. However, I think this description is more than just a bit of a stretch. CardDAV is a network protocol (RFC. You do state yourself in the first sentence of the README that this software operates only on the local machine, so I'd say it can be neither CardDAV nor a client?

I don't just want to complain, I am genuinely interested what your take is. I assume there is some reason why this is the way it is. Should you be up for it I would also offer to propose a patch with some updates to the docs?

Really sorry for being a bit pedantic here, I hope you understand. Just trying to minimize friction for folks assessing whether this project suits their needs.

Hey @bitfehler that's not rude :)

If the description somewhere can be improved, please do send a PR. For the packages in the distributions you might have t make a request there. I think the description in the man page originates from the short github project description.

Thanks for being receptive to this! I opened #304 for discussion, obviously open to suggestions. Once we agree on something I'll try to nudge a few distros to update their descriptions as well.
