Summary0007715: How about category description?
Description

Is it possible to add a description to the categories?

In our bugtracker I have added a "help" link to select the product version (see attached file). The "help" link is used to open a popup that displays a table with the product version and the corresponding description. It helps reporter to select the good product version.
I would like to add a "help" link to the category...

Patches are welcome. We can support Add Category and "Add and Edit" to provide description. This should mimic the current behaviour for adding versions.

Having category descriptions would be very useful. An enhancement would be that the description is displayed as a tooltip throughout the interface when hovering over a catagory name.
