The summary for Intervention was too long, I shortened it to "A
component for SchoolTool to help manage student interventions". Maybe
changed some other text a little, don't remember because this was done
in October. Look at the Software Center again if things look good.

I did not like that you named things "component" instead of "plugin",
but left them as you wrote.
