FontManager
Please consider changing your application identifier
Hello Font Manager Team,
Thank you for writing this application and adding to the ecosystem of apps available on Flathub for GNOME!
I'm writing to ask if you would consider renaming your application identifier so as not to contain org.gnome prefix both within the application itself and for its listing on Flathub.
The GNOME Foundation appointed the GNOME Release Committee in charge of setting the guidelines to define which applications were allowed to use the GNOME trademark. To avoid confusion as to which software is or isn't produced or endorsed by the GNOME project, only applications approved by the release committee (typically only core applications or developer tools) should use the org.gnome prefix for their application, according to the software policy: https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/SoftwarePolicy
Would it be possible to adjust your app identifier so as to follow this policy?
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this and apologies that this wasn't picked up earlier.
Cheers, Britt Yazel, PhD The GNOME Foundation
Discussed in #122 & #286
Will happen when the GTK 4 version releases but unfortunately not before then.
Thanks, that seems reasonable. I appreciate you adding this to your milestones!
Would it be possible for you to see that this change propagates to the Flathub listing as well? I'm not sure if the packager of the Flathub manifest @Eonfge is involved upstream with you at all. If not, I can open a ticket there to place it on their radar that this change is coming down the pipe.
@brittyazel I'm here! I'm tracking the releases and when the GTK 4 version comes out, I'll gladly change the Flathub App Id. I've done so before with a few projects who changed their Id so I know the drill.
Got another idea, @JerryCasiano, have you considered GNOME Circle? It's a group of high quality, GNOME related applications. Those apps are not officially GNOME, but they do conform to the GNOME HIG and such.

It might be weird moment to apply, but on the other hand you do meet the criteria.
@Eonfge
I have not, for various reasons.
We don't use libhandy and don't plan on adopting the Adwaita library.
We're also not the most accessible application, but focusing on that doesn't really make sense for us anyway.
Quick heads up, I've not forgotten about this issue and when we have the next major release, I'll gladly migrate the Flathub project.
