I don't really agree, but assuming that were true, this is an open
source project. You work on things you want to work on, fix bugs you
want to fix. Bugs are bugs, and no matter how small or irrelevant
they are to you, we shouldn't ignore them, and if they are small, then
we should be fixing them quicker.
I do lots of random testing (e.g. by using Firefox on Wine) to
try to understand what it's like to really rely on Wine, and
as a result, I generate lots of bug reports that might seem odd
to the casual observer.
It may have been hard to tell from my post, but
I installed this tool on a lark, and my post was meant to be
tongue-in-cheeck. The bug report is real; something's funky
with MSI. The app is obviously low priority, but I thought it
was better to file it rather than just laugh.
If you want to see the bugs I consider high priority,
have a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/DanKegel
My top five app list is
* Visual Basic 6 and Visual C++ 6 (to make it easier for
Windows ISVs to debug their code on Wine)
* SPSS11 and Keeptool-Hora (because Munich chose those as apps
to test under Wine for their Limux linux desktop conversion project)
* iSBEM (http://www.ncm.bre.co.uk; uses Access 2000;
the UK gov't requires building contractors to use this software,
and it would be great PR for the Wine community to get this working well,
I think.)
Now how do you feel about my priorities?
