Please consider writing and installing an AppData file with the application description and some screenshots, else Maxima looks really bad in the GNOME and KDE Software Centers. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for details; thanks!

I might be interested in creating this file, but I don't understand where the file goes. Is this file submitted to the maintainers of the Gnome and KDE software centers? or is it supposed to be in the Maxima installation package? or what? Thanks for any info.

You need to install the AppData file to /usr/share/appdata/ when installing Maxima. Distros will package this and the application will appear in the software center automatically.
