Issue body

1. At a terminal enter “snap info snapcraft”, or go to <https://snapcraft.io/snapcraft>. What you see: “easily create snaps” “Snapcraft aims to make upstream developers' lives easier and as such is not a single toolset, but instead is a collection of tools that enable the natural workflow of an upstream to be extended with a simple release step into Snappy enabled system.” What the summary should do: - Begin with a capital letter. What the description should do: - Begin with a few words explaining what Snapcraft actually is. - Mention snaps. - Avoid arguing quixotically that a “collection of tools” is not a “toolset”. - Not use the distribution-centric word “upstream” twice (and maybe not use it at all). - Be grammatically correct — no “into Snappy enabled system”. - Not use the word “Snappy” anyway, unless its meaning is obvious from the context. - Replace “enable” and “enabled” with something more specific.
