wine users - Jan 2009 - AppDB Voting System Wierdness

Hi, I'm a newbie.

I was looking at the AppDB and I think the voting is a great idea to prioritise
what people want and will use. However, I was looking at my favorite game that I
want to get fully working on wine - "Company of Heroes
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4506)".
I can't understand why there isn't a global voting for this like all the
other games. As it is, you can only vote on different versions of it. The
combined votes of all the "versions" would be 41, which I think serves
to highlight how much a game like this would be nice to get working proberly on
wine. Instead its only sitting at a low 17.

Doesn't this seem a bit wrong?

P.S This could be me just having a moan because the only reason I still use
windows is because of my love of CoH.  :P

Different versions of the same app might well have different problems. One
version might be platinum, another garbage. If any developers actually want to
use AppDB votes to decide what to work on next, they would need to know which
version to target.
