[Bug 16193] New: AppDB generates too much work for Administrators
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16193 Summary: AppDB generates too much work for Administrators Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: jeffz(a)jeffz.name I spend a few minutes nearly every day approving half a dozen test results but there is more people submitting test results than anyone has time to care to read each individual report. 99% of the test results that people submit where there is no maintainer for the application are OK and don't need to be manually approved. I propose that the AppDB be changed to simply accept new test results when there is no maintainer and not require moderation. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16193 --- Comment #1 from Austin English <austinenglish(a)gmail.com> 2008-11-24 13:28:36 --- I disagree. While I neglect my appdb duties, when I do check the test data, many give platinum ratings to apps with a crapton of native workarounds/hacks, while others give something a garbage rating for not including mfc42 on its own. If anything, more volunteers to administrate would be the way to go. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I guess this could also work. If you have anyone in mind and they are interested, as an administrator you can make other users administrators too through their users preferences page. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I'm already a maintainer for several apps, so I know how to screen submissions. I'm also interested in helping to clean up some of the unmaintained entries (without having to take everything on as a maintainer). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I was actually about to send you a PM on the forum to ask you :-).

Kinda new to Wine so still figuring out what's what - presently trying to associate bugs in the bug list with entries in the appdb (thus presumably generating a portion of the work you're talking about). Shoot me an email if you have anywhere I can help out on the administration side of appdb. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I've sent follow-up emails to both of you and Rosanne is doing an excellent job, I'll mark this as fixed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
