Not sure about that. 'complete set' implies more than one program which there isn't. Also, 'hundreds' is a little one the high side...

We never had a standard desription before, but do have a tagline - for pga2 it was:

pgAdmin II: PostgreSQL Tools for Windows.

Which I then shortened to:

pgAdmin III: PostgreSQL Tools

In addition, I always try to standardise the capitalisation of pgAdmin.
