Project Description characters limit to 250

I wish to increase the project description character limit. Currently is set 250 characters. How can I increase it?

This is not at all recommended since extra long definitions may mess the UI.

The project definition should be a short description of the project with more in depth details being added on a README. For example see, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce

Hi Kelvin,

The readme.md is not searchable on the main page. Project description is searchable. We wish to be able to search info in readme file globally. I wish to increase the project description character limit to 500. Any idea how I can achieve it?

Many thanks for your reply

Hi, I am looking also for a way to increase the 250 character limit.
We need to put a html link and we don’t have enough space.
