I know of a few wine users, the lindows insiders. ;)
We get tons of responses about application compability, but our current data is not very useful because it pertains to wine from cvs from 11/01.
After our next release, I'll work on a system to get our insider application feedback to your application database.

Do you really think people will put up with this system if currently they very frequently don't even mention whether they actually tried the app on Wine and what results they got ? (yes, I added a comment which asks them to also mention this)
A lot of the submissions that I commit leave several things to be desired, too (which I frequently improve a lot before committing, which shouldn't really be my job, though).

I think the main problem of AppDB is lack of contributions. Comments from Andreas confirm that. There are no volunteers who would spend time testing the application, submitting the bugs to bugzilla, making time to time regression testing.
If we implement the rating subsystem it can attract new contributors, but I doubt. Somebody has to go and spend time testing the applications. I don't want Andreas to be this person - it's a waste to spend his time on this job without significant effects. I'd better assign a couple bugs I can't handle to him (I'm the first in the line ;-).
