Bug ID: 48468
           Summary: Add "Bronze" and "Garbage" top-10 lists to the appdb
                    landing page
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The top-10 lists on appdb.winehq.org are a very nice feature of the site. Their
purpose of showing off what popular programs work in wine is very useful to new
users and I think adding the "Bronze" and "Garbage" ratings to the page will
also provide valuable information to new users as well as contributors. For new
users it will give quick access to information on programs they may be planning
on attempting to use with wine. For advanced users and contributors it will be
a useful tool to gauge which programs need high quality testing and possibly
give inspiration for developing patches to improve bronze and garbage rating
entries.

My biggest concern with adding these top-10 lists would be increasing the size
of the page even more than it already is though it will also probably drive
users of the appdb to vote for more applications overall.

They can just search for the app.

Bugzilla already has a rating system. Developers can search for major or
critical bugs if they wish.

High quality test reports are an issue, but I don't think this is the way to
get them.

--- Comment #2 from Zeb Figura  ---
I'm inclined to agree, this isn't very useful, especially because we generally
don't have developers who are just looking for work to do. We have far more
bugs than available developers, and most developers already have quite a long
list of bugs to fix.

(I'd also point out that bug importance isn't a rating system in general,
though, and shouldn't be treated as one.)
