From: Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com I've updated http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleaseCriteria to be a bit more final.
I've also written a draft release plan; see http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan
Comments?
Please note that I'm not complaining, but doesn't that list of criteriaseem a little disappointing? I know what Wine is capable of, but you'retelling the world that, after 15 years, Wine 1.0 is guaranteed to runabout 4 applications.
What about growing the list with a few applications that work perfectly at the moment (such as the top 10 platinum rated apps)?
There is of course a slight stability problem (mandatory updates) with the Steam apps in that top 10 list, so those would have to be excluded.

The problem with expanding the list is that each new app adds a huge amount of testing to each release.
If you can provide an automated test case for your favorite platinum app, so that we can just run it without any manual work, I'll gladly add it to the list. - Dan
p.s. http://appdb.winehq.org/browse_by_rating.php lists 1227 (that's over a thousand!) platinum applications. I'm willing to bet that the real number is a lot lower.

That's not as hard as it sounds. You might consider adapting existing automated installer scripts such as the ones at http://wpkg.org/ or http://unattended.sourceforge.net/
There are surely dozens of apps that are have freely downloadable versions and can have automated installs. All of them ought to be part of the release criteria; we're just short on manpower to write those scripts. - Dan

We had talked a while back about doing this, but it seems it never went anywhere. If you'd like Dan, I can probably write a few of those...Just send me an e-mail with what you want/an example.
