Adopting AppData in KDE?

[David Edmundson]

The whole discussion of whether gnome excludes apps without app-data
will improve the quality of those listed is sort of a moot topic.

We could do with this having this sort of metadata available for all KDE apps;

and in fact we already maintain this sort of data to build the pages
at http://kde.org/applications/

i.e
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/www/sites/www/applications/apps/bomber.json?view=markup
-> http://kde.org/applications/games/bomber/
images are all at http://kde.org/images/screenshots/APPNAME.png

I fully support app developers helping keep this up to date and given
we already have this information, the idea of writing a small script
to convert this to the relevant XML (which to me seems a sensible
spec) should be simple enough.

That means we get Gnome app centre support, and if Muon want to use
that spec - that'd be great too.
