Most of the stuff posted on osnews.com is stuff I know about but maybe 20% or so of the stories reference a product or service I've never heard of. The summary of the story often does not give any information on what the subject being talked about actually is. For example, the story on Automatix. I have no idea what Automatix is. A search on Wikipedia brings up an article that starts:
"Automatix Inc., founded in January 1980, was the first company to market industrial robots with built-in machine vision."
Which is, I doubt, what the story is about. It would be nice to have some kind of a short one line description in each story about what the product or service being discussed is. I suppose I can google around but this is inconvenient.

So fills in the "meta data?" What if it doesn't include what you wanted? I don't know how much of each story would require explanation.
I suppose the best answer is that any admin - or user, for that matter - could attach an arbitrary number of bits to any given story. Yeah, that's the ticket! And we'll call them "comments."
No, seriously, if you don't get it, why not just leave a comment?
