Bugzilla currently lacks categories for several important parts of wine. This is natural - nothing's perfect. Rather than fix this all at one go, let's just add categories as we find we need them.
I propose adding categories for msxml and setupapi now. Here are bugzilla queries that find quite a few bugs that are candidates for moving into those categories:
http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=ms...
http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=se...
I think they show enough hits to make the categories worth it. IIRC, James Hawkins has said he thinks we need a setupapi category, so I'm not alone in this.
The categories might help shake loose bugs like http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223 which have patches associated with them but haven't gotten any attention.
The MSXML category will help me as I dredge together projects for cs130 to focus on...
So, what does it take to create a new category? Can the admin just do it? We can move the appropriate bugs over to the new categories later.
Thanks, Dan
