To me it seems that users tend to give a rating based on how well the program runs (after being set up) rather than how hard it was to set it up to run. It might help to have some checkboxes summarizing what needs to be done to run it, rather than using the rating for it. (How well it runs is relevant for the users as well). Suggested checkboxes: * Requires native DLLs * Requires native DLL that requires a Windows license (the correct use of this will be an issues, since users do not (and should not be expected to) usually worry about the technicalities of license agreements) (might be put as a subbox for first one) * Requires patches to program * Requires patches to Wine * Requires tweaks to Wine (winecfg, registry) * Requires tweaks to application (such as running in OpenGL mode) * Requires specific hardware (Think nVidia...) (My list probably still needs some work, but you should get the idea) Gert
