Hi all,

since several months a user Rozanne is changing AppDB entries without 
contacting the maintainers. Most of the changes so far were minor changes. 
But today I was informed that Rozanne just deleted an entry which was 
maintained by me. According to the email I received, there were duplicated 
entries for the programm Mapsource. I regard deleting entries from Appdb 
without giving the maintainer a chance to backup what they maintained a 
*very* unfriendly act. I would have merged the two entries under one to save 
the valuable information users added to AppDB. Just deleting entries from 
AppDB, deletes information the wine community collected to support using 
wine. Users spent a lot of time and just deleting their work is *not* 
acceptable.

Can someone of the adminstrators of AppDB please make sure that Rozanne stops 
deleting entries from AppDB without informing the maintainers before. I would 
expect to be informed about such an action before and that I as a maintainer 
have the right to discuss was is being delete and what not.

Thanks,

Klaus
