I'm Fedora Linux user and I would like to see FreedroidRPG game in Gnome Software center.
This game is available in Fedora repository by default but Gnome Software does not offer this game so far. I would like to change 
it.
I have created xml file (attached in this ticket) that has to be shipped to Gnome Software maintainer 
(http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/)

I would like to ask you for review and your approval to ship this file together with some screenshots and icon to Gnome Software 
maintainer and let him to add this game to the Gnome Software menu.

More information about AppData here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/

Screenshots:
I took some from game homepage - http://www.freedroid.org/screenshots/screenshots/

Game Icon:
I propose to use this icon as the one that will be representing game in the Gnome Software center - 
http://sourceforge.net/p/freedroid/code/ci/master/tree/graphics/FreedroidRPG.png

I didn't find this icon available with its own weblink (to have its web page like screenshots above). Is it possible to have this 
picture with its own web link please? The link above does not show picture only but whole web page. I would need web page with the 
picture only.

Thx for your proposal. We would be happy to have FdRPG be added to the Gnome
Software Center.

I let matthias comment on the content of the AppData file.

I added the logo here: http://www.freedroid.org/imgs/logo.png
and the screen-shot here: http://www.freedroid.org/imgs/screenshot.jpg (better
URL than the one from typo3)

Many thanks for your feedback and provided links.
I updated the xml file with them and attach it to this ticket.

Just got a feedback from Richard (the Software Center maintainer):

"Upstream has to include that xml file in the next release tarball and install it to 
/usr/share/appdata when installing.
If they do that, and the tarball is updated in Fedora then the application magically 
becomes available in gnome-software."

Is it possible to include the xml file to the game files please?
