What's the URL, by the way?  Is it
http://opensource.region-stuttgart.de/ ?

Yes.   I don't see anything on winehq.com like that, but
http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/case_studies
seems to be along the lines you're thinking of, maybe?

Try just writing up a first draft of a success story on
a web page somewhere, and post a link to wine-devel
so we can see what you're thinking of.  Then I'm sure
getting it onto winehq.org will be easy.

I can start writing as soon as we start the project and have first customers. 
I just wanted to check out wether this would be interersting for the wine 
project.

Anyway, thanks for the information Dan.

Providing success stories

[Stefan Munz]

Hi Hiji,

can you provide me some more info. I think your part was to put the stories in 
some web-related format like HTML or maybe pdf, right? I can do this for 
those stories. When I'm done whats the next step? Mailing my version to 
wine-devel or who should I contact?
