<!--TITLE: Application Database FAQ -->
<h3>Application Database FAQ</h3>
<p>This FAQ answers questions related to the usage of the
Application Database.</p>
<ul>
<p><b>Q: What is the Application Database?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> The Application Database is a repository for
compatibility information of applications for Microsoft Windows
running on Wine.<p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Q: What is Wine?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> Wine is an execution layer that allows Windows programs to be run
on Linux Systems. More information can be found at the
<a href="http://www.winehq.com/fom-meta/cache/3.html">Wine FAQ</a>.<p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Q: What is the benefit Application Database?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> The Application database will give the Wine developers a
resource for compatibility information. This will allow them to focus their
efforts on those applications the community most wants to see working. It also
provides end-user support. Users can find out before they even install Wine if
their application is supported.<p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Q: How does a new application get added to the database?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> In order to ensure consistency, only authorized application database
maintainers are permitted to add new applications to the database.
Anyone can comment on, or rate a particular application.</p>
<p>Anyone can request that an application be added to the database,
but the application is not actually added until after it has been
reviewed and categorized by a maintainer.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Q: How can I submit HowTo's and Screenshots?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> We love to hear from our users. Send those helpful HowTo's and
Screenshots right on over to <a href="mailto:appdb@winehq.com">appdb@winehq.com</a>.
We'll be happy to post them, and give you proper credit for your great contribution.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Q: How do I become an authorized application database maintainer.</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.com">appdb@winehq.com</a>
to apply. Once we have a community of maintainers, we hope that community
will further refine the policies and procedures.</p>
