I've been updating the wiki as I think of new things. I've tried to add the suggestions so far from this thread. Please feel free to add things to the todo list or to improve the formatting of the page. I'll be marking the ones that I'm working on so I don't conflict with anyone else that wants to jump in. I've got no plans to work on the bugzilla integration though.

I've been talking with Chris Morgan, and he has a few suggestions, but I was looking for more. Does anybody have any features they'd like added to the AppDB, quirks they'd like worked out, or things of that nature?
One thing I'd like to see is a way to send feedback to the maker of the software to tell them their application is being used with Wine. Maybe that's just a link within the AppDB to a page on their website describing how to contact them, or maybe it's a link to a real comment form (on WineHQ or their site). Whatever the case, it should probably be controlled by the app maintainer.

I agree. If Valve software, for instance, knew that nearly 10,000 of their customers were running Half Life with Wine perhaps they'd adopt a better policy than "completely ignore us and avoid having people even talk about Linux on the forums."
