The screenshots are, like everything in Geany, whatever somebody has contributed. So they are the contributor's favourite desktop and theme.
To be clear my beef is with the whole appstream premise. It is based on a commercial upstream model (not surprising really since the promoters seem to be Red Hat, Ubuntu and Suse) where upstream has a need to "advertise" and the resources to do so. No problem with the commercial guys advertising themselves, its their job, but Geany does not follow that model, and we don't seem to have any advertising/marketing gurus willing to contribute. So it would be better to have just one clearly generic screenshot, and it should probably be on github or somewhere, otherwise the geany.org can't be re-arranged, and "one day" the new website will be done and it may move stuff. As I said in a previous post, its ok to provide a set of default xml tags for distros to use, but without the distro specific parts we shouldn't install it when Geany is built and installed from tarball or git. After all a user who has just done that, isn't going to need the application description. Will make some specific suggestions on the content later. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
