Provide proper display name, description and icon for out of the box extensions

[sandy081]

With #17068, Built-in extensions will be shown in the extension viewlet. This needs adopting all extensions to provide proper name, description, read me and an icon (if no icon is provided it, defaults to VS Code icon) so that user will know about what each extension is for.

I am assigning users based on the last change done to the extension. If you are not the owner, please assign it to actual owner, otherwise me. Also please check it off, if the current details are good enough

NOTE: Make sure display name and descriptions are translated using nls

Also please make sure that Read me is updated.

@sandy081 Do we have a common template for the readme? Or maybe have it generated from the description?
IMO it would be good to mention that the extension is a built-in extension, cannot be uninstalled but disabled.

[egamma]

Now that @joaomoreno has started it with the git extension I suggest that we add icons for all the bundled extensions as well.

[ramya-rao-a]

Any guidelines on where we should (or shoudlnt) we get the icons from?

[sandy081]

Read me will be auto generated from extension manifest details if not provided

@aeschli, @ramya-rao-a, @joaomoreno, @dbaeumer, @mjbvz, @chrmarti, @egamma, @roblourens

Looks like most of the extensions versions are at 0.1. Can you please check your extensions versions and bump them at least to 1.0

[joaomoreno]

Done!

[aeschli]

Done!

[ramya-rao-a]

Done for Emmet. The only remaining thing for Emmet is the icon for which I have contacted the Emmet library owner. Should be able to get something in a day or 2

[ramya-rao-a]

@sandy081 I've updated all extensions such that

• the least version is 1.0.0
• the Display Name for language related extensions are appropriately Basics/Features
• removed "and other language features" from the description for all Language Basics extensions. That will just mislead users to expect more from the extension
• All the themes get the same icon

The only thing left is to get icons for

• Emmet
• Typescript
• Html
• Css
• Json
• Markdown
• Php

which is tracked in #44626.

We can close this issue

Thanks @ramya-rao-a
