It would be good to display (and provide access to edit) project descriptions wherever project titles appear, for example in smart folders (should be called smart projects, right?), or at the top of the middle panel when looking at the tasks in a project.
Use case: I would like to be able to characterize the state of the project at a higher level than individual tasks.
As a stopgap, I am in some cases creating a task called 'project: <project name>', keeping that at the top of the tasks in the project, just so I can use its description for the project.

But if users have to shift context to see the description, no one will use it the way I imagine. If the design goal was to enter the description of the project at the start and then never use it again, fine. But I want to use it more like a status field, to be frequently updated.

Hi Stowe, Please let me double check what you have in mind: You would like to see the description of a project while looking at its tasks in the task tree view?

Hi Stowe, Yes, that was our design goal, as project description is not something users often visit or edit. But I can see it is the opposite in your case. Let us think about it. Thanks!

see, and to be able to edit the description there. Why hide it away? Especially if people are using it to represent status, project announcements, or the like.

Hi Stowe, We put the description of a project in its “Profile” view to let users focus on their tasks in the “Task Tree” view without any other distraction. But I see where you are coming from. Please let us consider it. Fyi, to see & edit a project description, click on the Profile view icon at the bottom.
Or, you can click on the arrow beside the project name.
