github project summary

ravas
Our current repo summary:
LibreCAD is a 2D CAD drawing tool based on the community edition of QCad (www.qcad.org).
LibreCAD has been re-structured and ported to Qt4/5 and works natively cross platform between OSX, Windows and Linux.


When I search github for "Qt" LibreCAD is not in the results.
It will be in the results for "Qt4"

I recommend something that will get us more hits.
For example:

LibreCAD is a 2D CAD program written in C++ and uses the Qt framework.
The code is based on the community edition of QCad (www.qcad.org).
LibreCAD has been re-structured and ported to Qt4 / Qt5
and works natively cross platform between OSX, Windows and Linux.

If I ever search on github for a cad tool I would more likely search for 'drawing' then qt or qt4.
So I definitely would want to keep the word drawing, and perhaps a other word related to CAD/dring in the title.

Sure, I agree.

I just want to be sure that a Qt developer will find LibreCAD if they are looking for projects to support.
We could be on page 3 of 100 of the Qt results (sorted by most stars).

Note that it can only be changed by a repository owner.

"Qt4/5" to "Qt 4/5" (added space) would be an easy change.

I also suggest trying to work in other keywords like DXF, DWG, design, etc...

more keyword hits = more possible users / developers
