How hard would it be to let authors edit the descriptions of their files? (and would it be a good idea?) Currently the descriptions are kind of weak, often just the first line out of the readme or the e-mail the author sent when submiting it.
I'd like to be able to put a little more detail in there, almost like a review (which I know I could do be it doesn't seem qutie right). It would also come in handy as a way to warn players about any bugs you've found but havn't fixed yet or remind them to get a patch.

Good idea, I might implement something like that for Miasma v2... it shouldn't be too hard to do.
The only downfall is less-than-reputable authors could abuse it greatly... so I need to implement some sort of toggle for the Users database that will allow or deny the ability to modify one's own file descriptions.

Or you could put in a validation system, much like reviews. "Descriptions Pending"
