Bug ID: 389509
Summary: Reward apps that define good AppStream metadata
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: pointedst...@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---
As a way of encouraging apps to improve their Appstream metadata, we should
consider adding a section to Discover's Featured page that displays apps with
the following characteristics:
- AppStream file passes XML validation and `appstreamcli validate`
- AppStream ID is valid and uses the best form (e.g. org.kde.kdenlive)
- ≥ 1 screenshot
- ≥ 1 <release> tags with version, date, and changelog
- <project_license> tag that's valid
- URLs for homepage, documentation, donation, and bug tracker
This doesn't have to be permanent, as eventually developers will get the
picture and all start using good AppStream metadata. But until then, we should
consider making this change and then also work on a way to communicate this
information to developers, in collaboration with the GNOME Software folks (I
think their app already does this, or a variant of it).
