Helping those who wants to help the project

[Andriy Palamarchuk]

I got an excellent feedback for my request for help.
Most of the replies were in private emails, so you did
not see the whole activity.

Now we need to fix some issues to better accept the
suggested help.

*Application Owners

We already have application owners for many
applications, including Lotus Notes, Microsoft Money,
CAD applications, other (still need to compile the
whole list). I think big part of bug

The issue here - management of the AppDB entries.
Is it possible to give an application owner privileges
to edit information of the applications they are
responsible for? How are we going to organize the
whole process?

*Bugzilla

I'm going to create documentation for bugs processing,
instructions for application owners.

Can I add these documents to the winehq web site
instead of having separate documentation for AppDB and
Bugzilla?

On other hand we already have in AppDB and Bugzilla
some documentation. In short - I need access to this
documentation:
http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699

Jeremy, 
There is one more request, more difficult to implement
- gather more information on initial bug submission:
http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677
When do you plan the upgrade, necessary to fix the
bug?
We already have pretty high activity on the Bugzilla.
I expect it to increase even more and I'd like to
increase efficiency of this activity.

Regards,
Andriy Palamarchuk

People who want to 'own' an app, can email [e-mail] for
access. I will assign access.

Wine documentation is in CVS already, if you wish to add to that
documentation, use the normal patch process we have in place. Submit to
wine-patches.

Since I control these areas, you can create the docs and send them to
me. I will put them up after a review.

I have no ETA for you at this time. I will comment on the bug itself
when I have started this project.
