UI and String Freeze Break Requests: GNOME Music AppData and Notifications



Hi,

We would like to request a UI and String Freeze Break for GNOME Music.

The string freeze break is for the addition of translatable description
using the new AppData specification, and translatable strings for
notifications.

The following are the strings to be added:

Notifications:
- "by %s, from %s" (by Artist, from Album)
- "Unknown Album"
- "Not playing"
- "Previous"
- "Pause"
- "Play"
- "Next"

AppData:
- "Play and organize your music collection"
- "Music is the new GNOME music playing application."

As for the UI freeze break, we are not sure if notifications is covered
by the UI freeze, so we are asking for permission if we could break it
too if it is covered by the freeze.

These are the bugzilla bug reports:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702377 - Notifications
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707388 - AppData

GNOME Music is a preview for 3.10, so we would like to add more features
as much as possible during this cycle, and we think that notifications
is a great feature to be included for the preview release.

We would like to add the AppData so that GNOME Music would have a proper
description on GNOME Software that probably will be released during 3.10
too. Applications without this metadata are penalized in the search
results. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for more
information about this under "What happens if I don't ship this file?"
section.

I attached the patches and screenshots of notifications. The patches
were approved by Vadim Rutkovsky, one of GNOME Music's maintainers.


Regards,

Arnel A. Borja
