We get the metadata from the extensions site directly, i.e. without AppStream. Given the extensions site has only just started being maintained again it might be worth asking if they could allow us to download AppStream XML rather than the custom JSON file that we now use. For packaged apps I don't think AppData files are required for gnome-shell extensions, although if we have them we'd of course use them. > * what would be the best way to get more of the extenstions showing in > gnome-software? package them up in Fedora, with appdata? Correct. You can add screenshots to the extensions site, but most users don't bother. Also, a lot of the extensions have rubbish descriptions which doesn't exactly help. > * how does a contributor help with this, i.e. adding things like > screenshots, AFAICT none of the extenstions have screenshots. Some do; in fact I've just added a patch to consume the new metadata added by Jasper: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=e223adc5d16f7aac0ad06ecb776c73667e92ddcc so that we actually get the most recent screenshot, not the initial one added. If you're interested in adding AppData to some of our shell extensions in packages, yell and I'll put together a guide on how to do it. Thanks!
