In this image, you can see an "About Fedora" menu item:

I've no idea what it does, but it would be nice if Debian had something
similar and I think desktop-base (a badly-named package IMO) is the
right place for this kind of functionality.

Hi,

I had a look at this. It launches Yelp and displays a short introduction
about Fedora, links to common resources and further documentation, and a
section about getting involved.

It's basically something like the information about Debian in the
release notes.

I'm attaching the XML file in case someone wants to have a look.

I guess there's no reason we can't do the same, but I'm not sure how
translations should be handled?

I guess we could ship a .desktop file with a link to some descriptive
text. Currently we ship three .desktop files with links to debian
homepage, security and reference. They don't appear in my Xfce system
but maybe they appear in GNOME menu?

They don't appear here either because you install them in completely the
wrong directory for them to be seen by freedesktop-compliant desktop
systems like KDE/GNOME/XFCE/etc. They also don't contain any categories,
which are needed to put them in the right place in the menu.

I imagine the stuff in /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles is completely
the wrong place too, unless xdg and kde are patched to look there.

Yeah sure. I don't really what they're intended for in the first place.
But what I suggested is to put a .desktop in /usr/share/application
which would open a link in sensible-browser with the text you linked.

Would it make sense?

I don't know for kde and gnome (but would assume the same), but for Xfce
we added  /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles to XDG_CONFIG_DIR.

Yes, much more than the current situation. Looks like the current
situation was a misguided attempt to put something on the menu.

Hmmm, OK.
