At the moment, we use the information in the .desktop file to populate<br>
the AppStream data, but this is missing a few core things, for<br>
instance a long description, the upstream website for the application<br>
and any screenshots to show. All of the three being quite critical to<br>
assess an application before installing. To fix this I've created a<br>
tiny AppData specification [1] which is a subset of the AppStream<br>
specification. It's designed as a way to describe the application (not<br>
the package) so that data can be used in the AppStream data.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As a first step to create such a database, can you reuse metadata avalable on Ohloh?<br><br><a href="https://www.ohloh.net/p">https://www.ohloh.net/p</a> <br>
