Well, now that we're up to date with the public tree, I've been trying to be the "Lawson" for office.
That's a hefty job though, so I'm enlisting the help of our qa dept in entering bugs into bugs.winehq.com.

I agree with Andi. Too much useless, redundant data. If you have an issue with Wine, submit it to Bugzilla (bugs.winehq.com). Bugzilla is where Wine bugs belong. The AppDB has to only answer a few simple questions. "Does my app work?" and "How well does my app work?".

I wanted to bring up one enhancement that many people I've talked to feel would be a very important improvement to the appdb: get more 'Lawsons'.
The idea is if we can get someone to do for each app in the appdb what Lawson does for Juno, then I believe that Wine will truly start to fly.
So, I guess the concept is sort of an 'owner', or maybe a team of owners for each app. An ideal owner would be someone who: a) Uses the app everyday. b) Uses the app fairly broadly and depends on it. c) Is willing to periodically try CVS builds of Wine and to report regressions.
Further, if we can get an owner for each app who actually uses it, then I think that person would get the opportunity to rate it, and their rating would weigh more heavily than all the other comments.
