    Nice to see this being used.
    
    This needs to be translatable. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ under "Questions". I'm not sure how that ties in with KDE's i18n mechanisms.
    
    Appdata came up on the KDE Devel ML once, the thread is huge and not entirely constructive (http://lists.kde.org/?t=138338458100001&r=1&w=2)
    
    At that time I wrote a tool to make .appdata.xml files automatically from the same data that creates http://www.kde.org/applications/utilities/ark/. I extracted everything into 
     http://static.davidedmundson.co.uk/kde_appdata.zip from http://static.davidedmundson.co.uk/appdata_generator.txt as a proof of concept, it would be good to see this developed into a full blown script that does everything that all KDE apps can run automatically when deploying we have all the relevant data scattered across various locations already.
