Add appdata.xml, provided by Matej Cepl.
AppData is an emerging standard (hopefully not distro-specific) for the
description of applications in various app stores.
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ is the home page of
the standard.
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/09/27/frikin-awesome-apps-without-appdata/
is the call for providing new appdata.xml files.

+ <summary>The Document Processor</summary>
+ <description>
+ <p>LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to
+ writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and
+ not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).</p>
+ <p>LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the
+ ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in
+ world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a
+ fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like
+ academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of
+ scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation
+ come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a
+ novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready,
+ well-designed document layouts are built in.</p>
+ <p>LyX is for people who want their writing to look great,
+ right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
+ details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around
+ with page boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like
+ any word processor; its printed output — or richly
+ cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like
+ nothing else.</p>
