                    I'd like to invite Fedora contributors to start
                      creating Flatpaks of graphical applications in
                      Fedora. We're still working on putting the final
                      pieces into place to have a complete story from
                      end to end, but it's definitely close enough to
                      get started.
                    

                    If you maintain a graphical application, please
                      try creating a Flatpak of it. Your experience will
                      vary - some applications are quite easy, but if
                      your application, for example:

                    
                     * Uses qt5-qtwebengine

                    
                     * Uses many KDE libraries

                       * Uses many Perl or Python packages
                     * Uses texlive
                    

                    etc, then you may want to wait - we will
                      eventually be creating shared builds to make
                      bundling these easier.

    Ah, make bundling easier, right. Finally we can bundle!

    Honestly, I fail to see how this can be promoted as good for Fedora.
    It might be good for upstream but not for Fedora.

                    Also, if your application has a system service,
                      installs a polkit policy, or otherwise is not
                      self-contained, then it's not a good candidate for
                      a Flatpak.

                    
                    Or you can pick one of 280+ applications that
                      have been identfied as easy to Flatpak:
                       

                       https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flatpak:Easy

                    
                  and assist out the application package maintainer
                    by creating a Flatpak of that.

                  
                  An introduction, draft tutorial and other
                    documentation can be found at:
                  

                      https://fishsoup.net/misc/fedora-docs-flatpak/flatpak/

                    
                    (The plan is to integrate this into docs.fedoraproject.org.
                      For now, the documentation source
                    is at: https://github.com/owtaylor/fedora-docs-flatpak)

                    
                  For help, please ask on #fedora-workstation on
                    Freenode, or mail desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
