Subject: AppData content ratings for games shipped in Fedora

Hi all,

The latest feature we want to support upstream is age classifications
for games. I've asked all the maintainers listed in the various
upstream AppData files (using the update contact email address) to
generate some OARS metadata and add it to the .appdata.xml file, but
of course some AppData files do not have any contact details and so
they got missed. I'm including this email here as I know some AppData
files are included in the various downstream spec files by Fedora
packagers. Generating metadata is really as simple as visiting
https://odrs.gnome.org/oars then answering about 20 questions with
multiple choice answers, then pasting the output inside the
<component> tag.

Using the <content_rating> tag means we can show games with an
appropriate age rating depending on the country of the end user. If
you have any comments about the questions on the OARS page please do
let me know. Before the pitchforks start being sharpened it's an
anti-goal of the whole system to in any way filter the output of
search results dependent on age. The provided metadata is only used in
an informational way.

Thanks,

Richard

I would love to see this as a Community Blog post, but I don't have the 
cycles to write it. Ankur, do you think you could reach out to Richard 
and ask him if he would be alright with his mailing list post being 
reposted to the Community Blog? If so, you can copy and paste it 
verbatim into the CommBlog and we can ship it out ASAP. :)

Thanks for raising this on the radar!

Thanks for pulling this one together, Ankur! :) Just gave it a speedy 
review and have it scheduled for tomorrow at 8:15 UTC since this is some 
pretty fresh news. Expect a new badge coming your way as well!
