[Merge] lp:~mbp/launchpad/meta-description into lp:launchpad
Martin Pool has proposed merging lp:~mbp/launchpad/meta-description into lp:launchpad.
Requested reviews:
Launchpad code reviewers (launchpad-reviewers)
For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~mbp/launchpad/meta-description/+merge/82769
Google sometimes generates lame page summaries for Launchpad pages, containing garbage that occurs near the start of the page.
We can give it a better clue by putting in meta description tags.
For an actual search it will often but not always generate its own summary looking at the page text, but the meta description is sometimes used, and apparently always used on g+, and probably also by other services.
See:

after: https://plus.google.com/112646476239496153808/posts/BRxTsjaUeWu
hooray!
We could do this for other pages too, but bugs are probably one of the top hits.
