Summary0005940: Please create an AppData file for Ardour
DescriptionPlease consider writing and installing an AppData file with the application description and some screenshots, else Ardour looks really bad in the GNOME and KDE Software Centers. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for details; thanks!

Additional InformationOver 200 upstreams have already added AppData files! :)

I spent a few minutes and gave it a go for ardour3. I'm sure the description could use some improvement. It needs more screenshots but many of the screenshots on ardour.org are too large to be used in the screenshots section as the limit is 1600x900 I believe.
