Sadly, more often than not, people don't usually put a description for their views. I guess to be good citizens, we should at least eat our own dogfood and provide descriptions for our views.

Actually there is no description for any view in my 3.5 M3...

I wanted to raise this bug sometime back. Probably the platform should start providing the description for all the views it contributes :-)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
