When setting up Discourse for the first time, users go through a wizard. This wizard contains two questions that are virtually identical:
Describe your community in one short sentence
… Describe your community in few words
There is no context offered, like where exactly each string will appear. I wonder how many admins just add the same sentence twice.
The wizard itself is very minimalist and polished. Kudos! This kind of double question is the only confusing point. Not a dealbreaker and probably this is something that most of us forget because we just want to have our new Discourse up & running. Still, if there is a perfectionist in charge of this wizard, I think there is room for improvement here. Clearer sentences explaining what is each sentence for might suffice.
In the start, I also found this confusing, but as I learned where each description was used, it made it clearer. Would adding some context as to where the description is used be any helpful? cc: @community
The strings already exist, and they could just replace the ones in the wizard (for an easy solution that would keep translations intact):
-- Describe your community in one short sentence
++ Describe this site in one sentence, as used in the meta description tag.
-- Describe your community in few words
++ Short description, as used in the title tag on homepage.
Thank you for pointing this out, your suggestions were helpful and we’ve made a PR for this.
-- Describe your community in one short sentence
++ Describe your community in one sentence. (Used in search results and social media)
-- Describe your community in few words
++ Describe your community in few words, for the homepage title.
