Changed Verdantium description on SourceForge

I keep noticing a trend where a lot of people download Verdantium, but few people download the underlying framework projects. For instance there were nine Verdantium downloads within a short period after the latest post, but there were very few downloads of Meta or Jundo Runtime. So I suspect that the current Verdantium downloads aren't producing successfully executing builds. One needs to download the new versions of the other projects in order to build the new Verdantium version. To help this, I've tried to make it easier for people to notice this blog post. The original Verdantium description read as follows:


Verdantium is an OpenDoc-like compound-document framework, and an open-source alternative to frameworks underlying OpenOffice, StarOffice, Corel Office, and Microsoft Office. Verdantium is written in a combination of JUndo, Java JFC/Swing, and Java-2D.


To keep the new description in the in the 254 character limit I changed it to:


Verdantium is an OpenDoc-like compound-document framework, and an open-source alternative to frameworks underlying OpenOffice, StarOffice, Corel Office, and Microsoft Office. Written in JUndo / Java JFC/Swing/Java-2D See http://verdantium.blogspot.com/
