Hi there! I wondered what I - as an end user - could do to make sure a bug is seen as more important. There is one specific bug in which being fixed I'm very interested... I already "voted" for it, but I'm not sure how important the votes are. And I think it might be against the etiquette if I add a "still not fixed" to the bug with every new wine version. So what else could I do (I'm not a programmer)?
I'm only a user myself, and so far I've found the best thing you can do is giving more detailed test reports, finding workarounds, etc :) confirm bugs for new versions of wine as well On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 1:36 PM, Doc BlackMind <wineforum-user at winehq.org> wrote:> Hi there! > I wondered what I - as an end user - could do to make sure a bug is seen as more important.

Putting a 'still not fixed' message once or so a month isn't too much. Keep in mind that wine is a volunteer project (mostly), so people work on what they're interested in. Try finding someone that can program that the bug affects ;-)
