General recommendations based on typical mistakes

Avoid too general descriptions. For example, when working on the description of a web
hosting technology, you shouldn’t include the web hosting definition into it.
Avoid too short descriptions. Ideally, your description should contain:
○ who owns this technology;
○ core features/ functionality;
○ where it's used - a sphere, an industry, etc.;
○ latest acquisitions/ mergings/ rebrandings/ awards/ nominations;
○ other valuable facts/ statements.
Reflect the category of a technology in the description. For example, if you see that
some GoDaddy’s technology has the SSL Certificates category, it means that this
technology corresponds to GoDaddy’s SSL product. Check its link on the technology
editing page for more information.
Double check your punctuation and syntax.
Don’t copy-paste descriptions from other resources! Plagiarism is strictly
forbidden!
