Perhaps it would be best for us to brainstorm what the new description 
is going to be and then submit it once it is complete, for them to 
review and include in the new packages.

In addition, the description should say something about Chicken itself. 
As it stands, anyone who has read Cheney's paper probably already knows 
about Chicken, so it should be more of a footnote. There's no mention 
about eggs either, and that (along with the C generation) should be one 
of the major selling points.
