Consider removing min 500 chars for description/[lang]/longDescription #129

Closed johanlinaker closed 2 years ago

johanlinaker commented 2 years ago

Currently, there is a minimum requirement of 500 characters for the key description/[lang]/longDescription.

I propose removing this lower bar, or changing it to 150, which is the upper bar for the short description.

For example, if a 400 char description is considered enough, why force the author to put in 100 char extra?

I'm very much in favor! I'd add that these setting should be in a config file, it doesn't make sense to fork the project just to change which fields are mandatory or their minimum lenght.

@johanlinaker I agree as well +1

I can open a PR with the proposal with this, unless you prefer to do it yourself

Please go ahead! :)
