Add description property to each file

[springraaar]

there should be a description property on each file, filled in on the upload/edit form.

there the uploader could write a few paragraphs of text, and even add some basic html like bold formatting, images (hosted somewhere else), links, etc.

IMHO this should be editable after uploading

IMHO markdown syntax would be fine!?

Yes, the uploader should be allowed to edit existing content.

I'm ambivalent about markdown. People could add some html tags for richer descriptions.

With markdown people might need to be careful with some sequences as, for example, text between "" ... "" becomes italic :

wrt markdown, i don't see issues: its commonly used at github without much problems AND its much simpler than bb code and html and the text-only form is readable as well.

allowing html would be very difficult to filter stuff which makes it insecure and its a lot more complex.

note : on #85 , the details page shows the description that's retrieved in the metadata attribute.
