Is it possible to workout or read the API's that a specific Windows application use ?
The theory is that it would be possible to estimate the amount of work needed to get a Windows app to work on Wine by calculating the number of API's that is not working or only half working and estimating the time it would take to correct these API's.
This would be a very rough estimation. Some APIs are simple to implement and some are not. The ones not yet in Wine are often of the second class but that is not a general rule.
Yep except if you get the estimate from a developer. Compare with his previous estimates and accuracy of those estimate and then incorporate it into the model.
But yes I agree a very rough estimate basically multiply by 2 then multiply by 1.5 and then tell you're boss it will take twice as long. Hopefully we can get some estimation on the complexities of implementing certain API's and work this into the model.
