Description Susan McCourt

I definitely appreciate the effort/sentiment behind trying to humanize plugin names.
However until we can have real metadata for plugin names, I find the fake names very hard to parse visually.

For example, I knew I needed to look at the services in the pageLinksPlugin.html, but I have to parse "Page Linksplugin"

The combination of mixed case, some spaces between words and some not, etc. etc. makes it pretty hard to read.

I would say either:
1) just show the file name, because I'm quite used to seeing "pageLinksPlugin"
OR
2) strip off the word "plugin" completely.  This is, after all, a plugins page, so I understand that everything with a plugin icon is a plugin.
So we'd have...
Authentication
File Client
Jslint
Git
Userservice
etc.

marking RC1 since Simon wants specific RCx milestones.
Feel free to defer to RC2...but I do think it's important for this to be made nicer for this page's debut in 0.4...and it seems simple
