My Goals for Wine 1.0

(And by "my goals", I mean "goad other people into fixing these"

Fix Photoshop and Dreamweaver Bugs

See AdobePhotoshop and AdobeDreamweaver

Fix Picasa bugs

Fix key .NET 1.1 / 2.0 / Visual C++ installer bugs

Fix key Visual C++ bugs

My old goals (I'll get back to these...)

Make Windows developers take Wine seriously (half done)

That means supporting at least some Microsoft development tools well, including their IDEs and debuggers. In particular, Visual Basic 6 and Visual C++ 6.

Visual C++ 6 is working very well, but Visual Basic 6 has a few issues.

Make Munich happy (10% done)

They listed their key apps in our Wiki at LiMuxWineKellerApplications. We fixed a few bugs for them, but there's still a fair bit of work to do there.

Get One Access 2000 app running

The UK requires anyone building a commercial building to run a particular Access 2000 app called iSBEM to verify that its energy use complies with an EU directive. iBEM's FAQ says that they only support Windows. While this app may not seem earth-shakingly important, it would be a great proof-of-concept if we could create a simple .rpm to install this app on Linux (kind of like Picasa), and I think it would help lots of people take Wine more seriously.

As of March 2008, although you can easily install the app by doing 'winetricks art2kmin', it doesn't work properly yet.

Get Lotus Notes running (Done!)

IBM supports Linux with Lotus Notes 7 and up. Sweet! However, many people still need older versions. In 2007, Wine improved enough that Lotus Notes became quite usable. See LotusNotes.
