Wine Application Database
As of April 06 there are several entries in the application database.
- http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=2292
- http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=4557 with ratings betweeen bronze and silver
- http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=3254 with one maintainer.
- Can you add your results to the Official Wine Appdb? Submitting your results for this software under Wine will help the many other users who run Wine.

Regularly Submitting results for installing and running on the latest version of Wine makes a big difference for others considering using Wine. By looking at how well the software runs others can be encouraged to try it themselves and together you can make progress in finding workarounds. By testing the software you will also notice when something breaks and when you make a bug report, the bugzilla team will often point it out to the person who broke it. If you are slightly more technically minded, you are able to regularly compile wine and test it before each fortnightly release then you will catch breakages before each wine release.
Official Information Unofficial Information A big advantage of being a maintainer is that as you quickly become familiar with installing and using wine with your software, you can have a direct hand in improving wine and your software. Many times you will find very handy tips posted by others and by posting a summary many benefit from your work. When you are asked a question you don't know, simply post in the wine-users forum and perhaps someone can help. Just by being there, you make a difference. A maintainer quickly tests each monthly release of wine, and adds to the application database a rating of how good it runs.. gold/silver/bronze or garbage. Wine is constantly being improved, and occasionally something breaks. When you do spot a breakage, file a bug in bugzilla and if you want to try and fix it you can then post to the wine-devel mailing list for advice. However, if you have a little spare time (usually about 2 hours, in between doing other things) regression testing allows you to identify which patch caused the break. By filling out a bugzilla report, posting the name of the software, and the patch which broke it to the wine-devel mailing list, the developer who broke it can have a look at fixing it.

[April 06] A Big improvement was noted in the appdb http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=3254 [April 06] a user asked why there was a problem with google earth. J. Lattimer I have been looking at uniscribe functions which have been partially implemented. After I implement a few functions it was reported that GoogleEarth did not crash any more but did not display text. I think you will have to wait till more uniscribe is implemented or look at the code yourself. I will be having a look at more of it over the next couple of weeks.
M. Hearn: OpenGL child windows don't work since the WM rewrite, so no, Google Earth doesn't currently run. To fix it requires X server work apparently :(
Segin: Google Earth works stable (barely usable due to some QT/GL errors, yes GoogleEarth uses QT under Windows) under wine 0.9.9 L. Ulmer pointed to the official wikifor OpenGL information: http://wiki.winehq.org/OpenGL wine archive
