A few bad links:
 * http://www.winehq.com/support.shtml
   'Application Database', fourth item in the Documentation column,
   points to http://wine.codeweavers.com/fom-meta/cache/394.html

 * http://www.winehq.com/dev.shtml
   'Application Database', second item in the Wine Development list, 
   points to http://www.winehq.com/Apps/

   Damn, now I'm lost, I can't find my way to the application database
anymore. I swear I found a link on the WineHQ site though...

Proposals:
 * Currently the screenshot is in its own column. That's quite bad
sometimes: http://wine.codeweavers.com/appdb/appview.php?appId=42&versionId=22
   I propose to remove this column and move the screenshot next to
'Description' with an 'align=right' on the table. It seems to work here:

<td class=color2 valign=top width='100%'>
<table width='100%' border=0><tr><td width='100%' valign=top>
<!-- the screenshot starts here, I added align=right -->
<table align=right width="128" border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0 >
<tr><td align=center class=color3>
    <small><font color=white><b> Screenshot </b></small>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class=color3>
<table width="100%" border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1"><tr><td
class=color2>
<a href='screenshots.php?appId=42&versionId=22'><img
src='./images/no_screenshot.gif' border=0 alt='No
Screenshot'></a></td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
<!-- End of the screenshot, Description will be on the same line -->

<b>Description</b><br>
[description originally by tegel at a site named dubaron.com]
<br>
<br>

   I hope it works in all browsers...
http://wine.codeweavers.com/appdb/appimage.php?appId=27&versionId=0

 * We should ban JPEGs for screenshots :-)
   http://wine.codeweavers.com/appdb/appimage.php?appId=27&versionId=0

 * It would be nice to see who owns a given application (but maybe
there's no owner yet).

   No way. You're doing a great job.
