I've been talking with Chris Morgan, and he has a few suggestions, but I was looking for more. Does anybody have any features they'd like added to the AppDB, quirks they'd like worked out, or things of that nature? Thanks, Mitchell Mebane -- The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. --Aristotle For best results, integrate it with Bugzilla. I should be able to go to an application in AppDB, fill out a form that says "bugs affecting this application" and that should then link me to those bugzilla bugs. Good idea. I think I could handle that. Bonus points for doing it in reverse. That way we can sorta prioritize what bugs we hunt after (if we're in a bug-hunting rather than particular app mood - particularly important as we try and stabilize Wine to end regressions for maintained apps). I have a suspicion it'll invite fans of a particular app to participate as well (since they'll have a specific bug to try and tackle). Thanks, Scott Ritchie . Now that one is tougher. Mostly because I know absolutely no Perl. I'm not too terribly familiar with BugZilla, but might it work to add each app as a BugZilla bug, then set the other bugs as blockers? That way I could do it by having the AppDB interface with the BugZilla DB, instead of having to modify BugZilla itself. --Mitchell Mebane -- The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. --Aristotle
