Yes, I have found how to add this file, thanks.

I you really want this to succeeds and to be adopted by application
upstream, we need to provides "really" simple documentation.
(I'm tired to heard about some new fedora specific and complex
request... even if this is not true, this is a common upstream feeling)

I agree we should improve documentation. It's on my TODO list.
 
And sorry, but this is not "yet" the case.
(especially for ex. for a QT app which doesn't use gettext or autotool)
 
I agree, but we can't write scripts for every single build system out there. It's not that hard to make an XML file translatable.

Just to confirm: this new file is only useful on fedora >= 20 ?
(so we need to not ship it in fedora < 20, perhaps some Guildelines
about this could be useful)

You don't have to ship appdata in fedora < 20, but you can if you want. (nothing will use it, tho).  I don't think we need any special guidelines here.
 

Which package own /usr/share/appdata ?
I'll leave this question for Richard to answer.

Remi.


P.S. new version 0.3RC of qelectrotech in rawhide have this file,
added by upstream on my proposal.
