Hi, I've been working on a new content rating system called OARS. I wrote up some notes on my blog[1] but I figured I should also post here for comments as a lot of packagers also write and update AppData files.
The content rating system I'm going to be proposing has the potential to cause all kind of politics. We've not yet talked with the designers about how (or if...) this is going to be shown in the Software Center. It's probably also worth stating that I think this kind of content rating should be informational-only, i.e. we're never going to be stopping people installing applications. I've uploaded my prototype generator here: http://apps-xdgapp.rhcloud.com/oars and I'd appreciate any feedback on that. Some of the categories may be difficult to translate or may need further (or better) examples, and so any comments on or off-list are very welcome. Also, don't actually add anything to AppData files yet, as the categories are nowhere close to being finalised. Thanks!
