WINEprobe is an.. er.. interesting name. Why did you choose it? From
a marketing perspective, it doesn't seem like a good name. In
general, the word "probe" doesn't exactly give a warm, fuzzy feeling
or generate excitement. Is this a translation of a German word that
sounds better?
It sounds like you guys are interested in Winelib stuff. I'm sure
you've investigated the pros/cons of that. Did you notice the Winelib
documentation is very outdated? Would you guys want to tackle
updating it?
