For many looking for offerings and updates to software here, I and
many others may find themselves at a loss as to what does the
software do -- what is it's purpose.

One could go to the various listed web sites but wouldn't it be
courteous to include a basic description of the software at the
beginning of the post. Many existing posters here do and have done
this for some time.

It's just a suggestion and one that I hope the moderator will let
through and/or enforce it or remind announcers about it.
It is part of the charter :

How do I write a successful announcement?
Note: This section is very much based on my own opinions. I have not
made any survey of whether following these notes will actually make
things better for you.

Within the first five lines, say what the program does. Don't make
people read through fifty screens of text to find out.
[snip]
Don't assume people have heard of you or your program. Always explain
what it does, even if only with a couple of sentences.
