Hello, First, thank you for your work on the WWN ! About the new "AppDB Application Status Changes", I see that you have a "change" column. What do you think about adding the sum of this column somewhere so we can see how/if Wine is improving between releases regarding application compatibility (

All good points (from a fellow Norwegian :) On the other hand, appDB entries are (and probably always will be) user generated content, and users will always have different opinions (and environment setup). IMHO users won't sue wine if the abbDB status differs from their experience with an app.

i'd argue that this means we need to be smarter about how we process the test results. We need both a confidence and a rating and some way to reflect this in the results. Your other point about configuration, if users have problems with configuration then while it may be their fault its not really

Do you feel apps get updated enough that there are enough instances of an app being reviewed more than once per release to change these results? On Dec 5, 2007 6:52 PM, Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 06 December 2007 00:44:03 Zachary Goldberg wrote: > > Here

The problem of using test results as background for this is that they are very dependent on the experience of each user. For instance some might be unable to run a game because they have execshield or other stuff that mess up Wine, or simply because they are not following the how-to instructions

I've finished coding a script which runs the necessary query to generate data (I download a database backup and run the queries on my local machine.). As a sampling (if anybody feels like tripple checking that the data is correct) of "Upgrades" (and some downgrades) from 11-27-2007 to 12-04-2007:

Hmmm interesting idea. I don't actually know just yet who the maintainer of the AppDB is, but he/she may respond in this thread (I'll attempt to find out their email anyway) as to whether or not its possible to generate a weekly summary of applications which have been "upgraded" through the week?

This is great :) Would it be a good idea to include major news from the appDB? Ex: "Photoshop cs2 has now reached Gold status" I think this would be very inspiring to users. Tomas Triton wrote: > On Tue, 4 Dec 2007 18:23:10 -0500 > "Zachary Goldberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Kai, >> >>

Hi Zach, thanks for getting a new WWN issue out there. Finally there's more than one release after the other. I think WWN is a really valuable ressource for our users. Also, I hope it'll be a platform to get some GSoC exposure on the front page, especially without me having to take care of it.
