Areas covered by the initiative:
Appstream:
* Summary
* Description
* Developer name
* Various links
* Release notes
* Screenshots
Repository Metadata:
* README
* Repository icon
## Summary
The summary should answer the question **"What superpower does this app give me?"**. It doesn't need to comprehensively describe everything the app does, as long as it highlights one important aspect and makes it clear why it's valuable.

## Screenshots
General guidance:
- Provide multiple screenshots showing off the main areas of the app
- Show off the app with realistic and good-looking example content
- Update screenshots when the app UI changes
- Use GNOME system defaults (stylesheet, font, icons, window decorations, etc.)
Avoid:
- Using a non-standard system stylesheet or icons
- Using non-standard window decorations (e.g. minimize/maximize enabled)

## README
## Repository Icon
The Gitlab repository icon should be the regular app icon with a baked-in shadow. We have plans to add a way to automatically export a PNG with a baked-in shadow from App Icon Preview for this purpose.
