Rather than wasting descriptive text on the fact that joe is "world-famous"
could we use descriptions found in Fedora and other linuxes?

FC3 reports this:

  Summary     : An easy to use, modeless text editor.
  Description :
  Joe is a powerful, easy to use, modeless text editor.
  It uses the same WordStar keybindings used in Borland's development
  environment.

Describing the contents of the package seems like overkill to me.
