Description

The idea is to put additional text input field to define human readable (Unicode) name (title) for project.
For now we have only url-part repository name.
If repository title not defined - default name (url-part) will be rendered.

The main idea is to change repository name output:

  • in all lists
  • at repo page header

Such feature is implemented in Gitlab.
Some projects are faster to find (by eye) if them named via national symbols without restriction to space-symbol.

It's up to discussion though.

The description has other issue - it's not support markdown render or even nl2br conversion.
