The short description should not include the package name

Clear for you and me, but potentially confusing for a user. Maybe
mentioning tweakability/configurability/customizability instead of
"hack potential"?

But, but... But it has a great hack potential!

>  * It's really simple under the covers. Func works over XMLRPC and SSL.

Uff... And it feels like I am reading a vendor's prospect. I'd suggest
you to avoid sell phrases.
