[ros-dev] ReactOS Compatibility Database (beta status)

[Klemens Friedl]

The ReactOS Compatibility Database has reached beta status.

URL: http://www.reactos.org/support/

The compatibility database has been designed to store application and
driver data.
Simply click on one of the 5 green start buttons on the frontpage to
begin to browse through the database.
To submit an application/driver, click on "Submit Application" (menu bar).

Please have a look at the help and faq section for more information.

The goal of the whole compatibility database is to provide one single
unified place where a lot of compatibility data can be found.
This has several advantages:
For user it is easy to find out which software does already work in
ReactOS and how good it work.
Everyone (with a myReactOS account) can submit applications/drivers,
additional information, vendor data, compatbility test reports,
screenshots and post "compatibility forum" entries.
In the last few months, several people asked how they could help in
the ReactOS project. Now there is a way for people who don't know
programming languages, etc., they can now submit their testing results
to one place, the compatibility database. Note, in the compatibility
database there is a link to the bugzilla related page.
>From now on it will be easier for developers to check regression data, etc.

There might be some glitches and bugs, if you find some please post a
bugzilla bug entry, write a forum entry or write a reply here (mailing
list).

If someone has suggestions and/or ideas how to improve the
compatibility database please write a reply, thx.
