Bug Description

There is no indication of what is included in this package.

=== Here is the current description:
Description: plugins for vim, adding bells and whistles
 Vim is a very capable editor. Its scripting support allows the use of plugins that enhance the functionality of it. Many people have written scripts, they are scattered all over the web; however, there's a central resource on http://vim.sf.net to start with.

This is a collection of some of those scripts on a purely subjective and biased basis. Users can thus have some nice scripts without having to go searching. The scripts can be installed globally or on a per user basis.

=== Here is my proposed addition to the description:

Filetype Plugins
     * po.vim - Easier editing of PO multi-lingual translation files
     * xml.vim - Helper for editing XML, HTML, and SGML documents

Games
     * VimSokoban_sokoban.vim - Sokoban Game for Vim
     * tetris.vim - Tetris for Vim

General Plugins
     * Align.vim - Provides commands to help produce aligned text, eqns, declarations
     * EnhancedCommentify.vim - Quickly comment lines in a program
     * a.vim - Alternate Files quickly (.c --> .h etc)
     * bufexplorer.vim - Easily switch between buffers without knowing their numbers
     * calendar.vim - Calendar
     * cvscommand.vim - CVS integration plugin
     * cvsmenu.vim - CVS menu supporting most CVS commands
     * gnupg.vim - Transparent editing of gpg encrypted files
     * info.vim - GNU info documentation browser
     * minibufexpl.vim - Elegant buffer explorer - takes very little screen space
     * svncommand.vim - Subversion (svn) integration plugin
     * taglist.vim - Source code browser (supports dozens of langauges)
     * themes.vim - All the color schemes on vim.sf.net, with menu
     * utl.vim - Univeral Text Linking - Execute URLs in plain text
     * vimspell.vim - ispell or aspell based spell checker with fly-spelling
     * whatdomain.vim - Find out the meaning of any Top Level Domain
     * winmanager.vim - A windows style IDE for Vim 6.0

Syntax Files
     * CVSAnnotate.vim - Syntax highlighting for cvscommand.vim buffers

==============

Also, the package should recommend or suggest ctags, as taglist.vim is useless without it. Likewise for vimspell.vim needing ispell or aspell.

I don't think developers using cvs or svn would have any use for suggestions on those tools, though.

  * Updated the description to give a better indication of what's included in
    the package. (LP: #31204)
  * Appended exuberant-ctags, aspell, ispell to the Suggests field, as they
    would enhance the usefulness of some of the plugins. (LP: #31204)
