I agree with Andi. Too much useless, redundant data. If you have an issue with Wine, submit it to Bugzilla (bugs.winehq.com). Bugzilla is where Wine bugs belong. The AppDB has to only answer a few simple questions. "Does my app work?" and "How well does my app work?". I do feel the AppDB does need a better rating system though. My plan is to add a Wine version table to the Ratings. You would be able to Rate an Application with 0-5 stars, pick the Version you where using, and if you where using a Windows partition or a Fake Windows install. Also, I think that each rating submission, should get a comment and a timestamp. This would allow us to keep up-to-date info. This addition, brings me to my second AppDB addition. To add a reports section. The reports section would contain reports for: - 20 highest rated Apps. (based on a calculation to be decided later) - 20 highest voted Apps. (I plan to make the voting system more visable) - Newest App Additions to the DB. (by popular request) - Most Active Apps (by number of comments/ratings) I also saw Andriy's comments about removing discussions. I oppose this strongly. But, we can put in an option to hide them for those that do not wish to read them. For us that like the comments, I think the comments needs a sort toggle. I like to see the comments sorted by newest first. Right now, oldest messages are at the top of the list. -- __ _WebGeek/NetAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman@codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1842980 Yahoo: laxdragon _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
