unable to maintain application despite of maintainer status

[Udo Rader]

hi,

I've just become the maintainer of an application
(http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=2002) and tried to do
something meaningful with my new status but either I get "insufficient
privileges" (eg. when trying to "add notes") or nothing useful happens.

I am also not able to post screenshots for the apps, instead I (and
certain other wine-related people) are emailed that somebody (me in
fact!) has submitted a screenshot for the application.

Sorry if this is a repost or something, but the maintainer guidelines
for this on winehq.com just are not correct.

Thanks for reporting, I will send a patch in a few minutes to fix this.

Your screenshot has been submitted but has to be reviewed. This should
not happen (you should be able to add screenshot without an
administrator review your screenshot) so that I'll fix this bug this
afternoon too.

Thanks for being so on the ball on these things.  Which reminds me, I've
got more bug reports :)

Delete Version doesn't work (tells me I need to login),
supermaintainer's can't edit notes (as you found), and the newest
version 20050211 needs to be added to the database.  There's supposed to
be a script with each new version that does that alongside updating the
documentation - talk to Jeremy Newman about it.

Also it might be prudent to eliminate all versions before, say, October
2004 and just list them all as "Archaic Wine Vintage" or something.
There's probably no reason for the scrolldown version box to be that big
when we don't even have any entries for apps working before, say,
October 2004.

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie

The versions are automatically added and 20050211 is already in the list
when editing versions (at least I saw it since the first day and it's
still here, can you re-check ?).

That's a suggestion we might discuss with others. On the other hand, the
purpose of this version drop down list is that you know with what
version the application was last tested with. But you are right if the
list become too long we might want to make it smaller.

It was added by me last night. I have been very, very conscientious 
about keeping this up to date for almost (over?) two years now. I know 
that Jeremy Newman has talked about making automatic but I do not know 
how far he has gotten with it



BTW The reason I did not add it before last night was I have been busy 
setting up my new computer. <b><g></b>
