Details:

Fedora users and developers have written several AppData files which is used
for showing screenshots and descriptions in various software centers such as
GNOME Software which we are previewing in Fedora 20. One of those files is for
Octave.

We'd love these files to be included upstream and installed in
/usr/share/appdata, which means all the other Linux distributions other than
Fedora can use this data themselves. Also, if the file is upstream you can
change the description, screenshots and homepage as much as you like as your
application evolves. There are guidelines on what things to include, and
things like the aspect ratio for screenshots on the
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ website.
