| Feb 11, 2014 at 19:26 | comment | added | Rmano | If we had a reasonably short list (say 100) of big canonical QA, a tool to flag a question to point there with only a couple of clicks would be great. For example, a blog page with links to all the canonical QA "ready". I often find that the search of the site is quite lousy (site:askubuntu.com on google is much better). | |

| Aug 5, 2011 at 21:17 | comment | added | RolandiXor | Often times (in recent versions of WINE) it boils down to configuration changes and dll installations. So it might be best to have a one stop shop for most applications and other questions for fringe cases. Overall we should advise moving to native applications where ever possible. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 17:56 | comment | added | jrg | @GeorgeEdison Very true. That case, I suggest that we follow Jeff's advice. My two cents. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 17:55 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @James: Well the problem is that any application-specific information is basically just duplicating content from the Wine AppDB and then we'd need to make sure it was always kept in sync. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 12:10 | comment | added | jrg | The issue is that this one is every application is a little different (and has different dependencies, requires a different version of WINE etc), so that it'd be pretty difficult to write "One Answer For All". But I think the Ask Ubuntu community is up to the challenge. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 4:33 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | That sounds like a good idea. I'll wait to see what other community members think of the idea and perhaps discuss its creation. | |
