<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a request for comments relating to the API
database at <A
href="http://winedb.pavely.net">http://winedb.pavely.net</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The backend database has been redesigned to improve
database performance and produce more accurate results. It currently
contains import/export and ordinal data for various windows versions as well as
WINE.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I would like is some feedback from the WINE
development community about what you would like to see in a front-end to
the database. This could range from suggestions on presenting data in an
easy-to-understand manner to adding additional data to the
database.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Current suggestions include the
following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Cross reference and compare windows
versions and dll versions</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. List exports and imports for a given
dll</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. create dependency tree for
dlls</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Determine which APIs are used by specific
applications</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Determine most used / least used APIs and
dlls (pinpoint what functionality is important for many apps)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>6. Compare ordinals across windows
versions (helps determine when WINE should / should not export by
ordinal)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
