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?

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.
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
