I wasn't sure when I read on the Google doc the following sentence: 
"All this data must be releasable under a CC0 licence, i.e. BSDish." I 
asked to hughsie about this, which confirmed it was a mistake, CC BY-SA, 
as a free licence, is fine. I fixed the Google doc and added the url of 
deja-dup's appdata.xml[0].

For screenshots, I think a good place is where launchpad stores 
tarballs[1]. Having the release number in the screenshot url helps to 
have a match between the screenshots and the actual interface.

Finally, Appdata may indeed *later* include tags for screenshots, like 
this: <screenshot type=default desktop=gnome>. That's not the case for 
now to avoid to overwhelm people at this early stage.
