-<h3 id="app_owners">Application database: application maintainers</h3> - -<p>Another very important aspect of Wine testing is to use or test real - applications regularly and report regressions as soon as possible to the Wine - developers. This way regressions are caught early, while the set of changes - to search through is still small and the Wine developer who made the change - still around. Another reason why <b>your</b> contribution is especially - valuable is that Wine developers probably do not have access to the - application (they cannot buy all the applications out there) or do not know - it well enough to test it properly.</p> -<p>You can help even further by becoming an 'application maintainer', that is by - maintaining that application entry in the <a href="http://appdb.winehq.org/">Application Database</a>. Many - applications can be made to run (or run better) by using just the right mix - of native (Windows) and built-in (Wine) libraries. By testing the application - with various library mix and then documenting your results in the - corresponding Application Database entry, you will help other Wine users be - productive with that application, thus making Wine useful to a greater number - of people.</p> -<p>Required skills:</p> -<ul> - <li>Good knowledge of a particular application</li> - <li>Being dedicated to using / testing this application with each new Wine - release or more often. It is more important to test one application - regularly than ten applications once a year.</li> - <li>Report all regressions to wine-devel, and cooperate with the developers - to diagnose the issue.</li> - <li>Create and maintain a HOWTO note on the application page summarizing - all actions required to get the application to run properly, e.g. - collected from the comments of visitors on the application/versions pages.</li> - <li>Coding skills are <strong>not necessary</strong>.</li> -</ul> - <h3 id="support">Bug hunting and support</h3> <p>Because there are so many Windows applications out there, and because very few of them work perfectly, we get a lot of questions from users,
