- Yes - just create a project in any repo

Description

Currently, when creating a new/ editing an existing project, below the title input field, a large textarea gets displayed whose purpose is unknown.
The text above it (Manage issues and pulls in project boards.) doesn't help at all understanding, what we are supposed to do with it.
The user should be notified that he can enter a description there,
either by displaying <p>Enter a project description. (optional)</p> (can be called otherwise in the end) above or by adding a prompt text Description in the text area (or both as is the case with the input field above for the title).
Either way, a new string will have to be present at the end.
