Hi,
If you haven't already, please read Richard's blog post: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/08/29/gnome-software-center-and-you/
App data is necessary if one wants applications to be easily installable via the software center that's coming to Fedora 20.
If any one has cycles, it'll be good to have data for all the fedora medical packages at least, so users can easily install them in F20+.
The software center is something like an app store. You can read more about it here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AppInstaller
If you have queries, you can find "hughsie" on GimpNet, or find me in almost any Fedora channel ;)
Hi all!
A gentle reminder about appdata files. I've been working on the packages I own, writing up files and including them in the packages + sending them upstream. If these are added to the packages before Fedora 20 hits Beta, they'll be picked up by the gnome-software package automatically. If you haven't already updated your packages with appdata files, please do so ASAP. The packages will hit testing first, so if you need help getting them karma please mail the list and we can test the packages out and get them to stable quicker.
More info here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ https://github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream
If you need to generate screenshots, they must be in a 16:9 aspect ratio: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/10/08/how-to-take-169-screenshots/
Please drop me a mail if you need any help with this.
It'll be great to have our medical packages prominently featured in gnome-software. :)
