Hi all,

I'm putting together a Summer of Code proposal for working on the
AppDB. 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?

Thanks,
Mitchell Mebane

For best results, integrate it with Bugzilla.  I should be able to go to
an application in AppDB, fill out a form that says "bugs affecting this
application" and that should then link me to those bugzilla bugs.
Good idea. I think I could handle that.

Bonus points for doing it in reverse.  That way we can sorta prioritize
what bugs we hunt after (if we're in a bug-hunting rather than
particular app mood - particularly important as we try and stabilize
Wine to end regressions for maintained apps).  I have a suspicion it'll
invite fans of a particular app to participate as well (since they'll
have a specific bug to try and tackle).

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie

Now that one is tougher. Mostly because I know absolutely no Perl.

I'm not too terribly familiar with BugZilla, but might it work to add each app as a BugZilla bug, then set the other bugs as blockers? That way I could do it by having the AppDB interface with the BugZilla DB, instead of having to modify BugZilla itself.
