[Bug 13970] New: Cleanup of appdb to make things cleaner and more revelant.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13970

Summary: Cleanup of appdb to make things cleaner and more
                    revelant.
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I know this would seem a bit controversal , but i was thinking that since we
have hit version 1.0 of wine it could be a very good move to clean up the appdb
results.

I was thinking that all old results  ver < RC could go to archive, and we just
leave all the recent results, maybe add a trigger to db to move all the rc
results to archive on commiting a report that involves wine 1.0.

For other apps that didnt have any rc results maybe we should leave only 5 most
recent ones, or maybe just leave empty app desciptions and encourage ppl to
send new reports.

This would probably give a lot better overwiew of what works and what doesnt,
for both users and dev team (hopefully).

Also the howtos should go to archive as i found MANY of them to be outdated, a
lot of things work from scratch without any post installation tasks.

maintainers could easly move the howtos from archive if they would still be
needed.

This is just a general idea and would need to be more thought out, but in my
opinion it would be good to think about that.

Seems like a good idea.

File bug reports if you know of issues that aren't already reported.

If you know of better instructions or would like to update the howtos, sign up
as a maintainer for the application and revise them.    Simply deleting them
does not seem like a good idea to me.
