Re: Déjà Dup description for GNOME Software

[Michael Terry <mike mterry name>]

Thanks so much!

I've committed [1] with a few changes:

* Relicensed to CC BY-SA, since deja-dup translations are in CC BY-SA, and eventually this should be translated.

* Added a <name> field with "Déjà Dup Backup Tool".  Once installed, I like Deja Dup to appear "part of the system" by just representing as "Backup".  But when browsing an app store, it should use its full branding to differentiate from other backup software.

* Dropped the screenshots link.  The examples of appdata files I have seen all link to specific images (so that they can be sucked down and shown), not a page of screenshots.  And all the specific screenshot URLs I have for Deja Dup aren't pretty / stable-looking URLs.  There are attachments to wiki pages or screenshots.debian.net links...  I'm not sure where a good hosting place for screenshots would be.  Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Hi list,

Software[0] is a new interface which will appear in GNOME 3.10 to allow
users to easily manage software installation and updates. It uses
Appdata[1] to provide descriptions and screenshots.

Richard Hugues asked for contributions so that a maximum of applications
will benefit of nice descriptions[2], I made one for Déjà Dup[3].

I thought you would be interested to merge it and eventually change it.
If so, the url[3] should be replaced in the Google Document.

Regards,
Mathieu
