It might be handy to add a text filed for admins to enter their description of the configuration. You agree?

hm, what does your patch do when there is also event related help? how does the rule page look like?
Furthermore I'm not sure about displaying it as column in the overview. Looking at my overview pages, e.g. if you install buddylist2, there is space left for this any more .. :/

So what about adding it just to the *edit* form?

In rules I've planned to add the possibility to "tag" rules. Perhaps we should also add this to workflow-ng, so users have a good upgrade path then? We could focus on doing it well for rules now, and then backport the good stuff as far as possible? What do you think?

Indeed, I didn't take care of cases when events have related help.
IMO, we should have a short description in the overview (like views, cck). When dealing with several configuration I think it can save a lot of clicks.

I think the patch is almost there, so maybe better for me to fix it regardless of Rules module. Tags can probably be back ported later.

but in comparison to cck, views we have already a "label" - which can be already a descriptive sentence. cck and views have only short names here. I think this is also why there is already so less space on the overview page. Have a look at my overview page on my dev site -> screenshot attached. I can't really imagine another description column there.. ?

I see your point about the label.

I'm setting to postponed. Let's see if the Rule interface will make it easier.
