 'Description' field on "Upload GPS Trace" ({{{/trace/create}}}) page is
 mandatory. I don't think it's a good idea to oblige everyone to describe
 each walk or ride with words. I have bad literature-writing skills so I
 usually fill this field with garbage.

 I think most tracks are pretty usable without textual description.
 Moreover, there's also 'tags' field making this form even more
 bureaucratic.

 P.S. There's no indication on that page that 'Description' field is
 mandatory.
