<p><b>A:</b> We love to hear from our users.

<p><b>Q: How do I become an authorized application database maintainer.</b></p>
<p><b>Q: How can I submit How-to's?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> Pretty much anyone with an established reputation supporting Wine
is welcome (begged?) to be an application maintainer.
Simply send email to <a href="mailto:appdb@winehq.org">appdb@winehq.org</a>
to apply. Once we have a community of maintainers, we hope that community
will further refine the policies and procedures.</p>
<p><b>A:</b>If you are not a maintainer, you can't create new official How-to's. So the best way to proceed is to post your How-to as a comment in the specific version page of the application of interest. A maintainer might then choose to add your How-to as an official How-to for this database entry.</p>

<p><b>Q: How do I become an application database maintainer?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> Pretty much anyone supporting Wine is welcome (begged?) to be an application maintainer.
Simply click on the button you will find in the application overview or specific version page to send your request. An administrator will then review your proposal and add you the the maintainer's team for this application or version. Once we have a community of maintainers, we hope that community will further refine the policies and procedures.</p>

<p><b>Q: What is the difference between a super maintainer and a maintainer?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> A super maintainer maintains an application and all it's versions. A maintainer maintains only one specific version of an application.</p>
