+<PRE>Hi,
+
+As promised last week during the packagers meeting, here is a wiki page
+dedicated to the AppStream project.
+
+<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=appstream">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=appstream</A>
+
+Please take a look at the list of &quot;things to do&quot;, maybe there's something some
+of us can work on ?
+
+Here is a an extract :
+===================================================
+Tasks that can already start
+ * improve packagekit's urpmi back-end (see the feature matrix :
+<A HREF="http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html">http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html</A>)
+ * begin work on making the Ubuntu Software Center work on mageia, with
+Micha&#235;l Vogt's (main developer of the USC) and Richard Hugues' (packagekit)
+help
+ * start creating the appdata.xml files in repositories, based on metadata
+extracted from the .desktop files. It won't be complete yet but it would be
+useful to have the production chain already in place, and mageia-app-db could
+use this information to differentiate applications from other packages (it's
+based on a fixed list at the moment). See
+<A HREF="http://gitorious.org/appstream/resources/blobs/master/appdata.xsd">http://gitorious.org/appstream/resources/blobs/master/appdata.xsd</A>
+ * adapt urpmi so that it downloads those metadata on the client system
+when adding or updating media
+===================================================
+
+The metadata part (appdata.xml) is one of the most important things. All
+distributions present at the Nuremberg meeting agreed to try to have the chain
+of production and the appdata.xml file produced in the next 2 or 3 months. It
+would be great if we did it in time (yeah, I know, we also have a distribution
+to build :)). And as a side benefit, I could use the information contained in
+the appdata.xml file in mageia-app-db :)
+
+Cheers
+
+Samuel Verschelde
