 read documentation/bugreports.
 
 This is intended to be a place where you should look first if
-you want to contribute to Wine development. Add your e-mail
-address to the corresponding entry if you are working on/have 
-done something for one of the problems. You are encouraged to 
-add new entries and, more importantly, remove those for the 
-bugs you fixed ;-)
-------------------------------------------------------------
-As of Jun 1998 -
+you want to contribute to Wine development.
 
-General:
+Wine is still alpha software and is very incomplete.
 
- * TrueType, .FON rasterizer.
+If you want to help Wine project you can:
 
- * Incomplete thread/process scheduling support in Win32 code.
+ * visit Bugzilla (http://wine.codeweavers.com/bugzilla/) for 
+   list of existing bugs. Metabug 406 lists bugs which are
+   reasonably simple to fix even for someone new to Wine.
+   Have a look at it and choose subject you are insterested in.
+   http://wine.codeweavers.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=406
+   You are also welcome to help with Bugzilla - add new bugs, confirm,
+   remove duplicates, test fixes, etc.
 
- * Threading for some operating systems still missing. (NetBSD? SCO? OS/2?)
+ * create unit tests for Windows API
 
- * Very alpha printing code using win16 drivers.
+ * contribute to the Wine documentation
 
- * internal PostScript driver not finished. [h.davies1@physics.ox.ac.uk]
+ * subscribe wine-devel, wine-user mailing lists, participate
+   in the discussions
 
- * Extremely alpha Win95 interface code (some apps, like Opera, choke on it).
+ * run Windows applications, port open-source Windows applications
+   to Wine, fix bugs you found, enter bugs you can't fix to Bugzilla.
+   Enter information you discovered to the
+   Wine Application Database (http://appdb.codeweavers.com/).
 
- * No OLE2 and OLE32 support (including OLE2 interfaces etc.).
-	 (started work on pidl-handling, IShellFolders IEnumIdLists 
-	 and SH* functions juergen.schmied@metronet.de)	
-	(Corel has been working on it)
+ * grep for FIXME in the source files
 
- * No MS Video support. [just started, marcus@jet.franken.de]
-
- * COMDLG32 support not complete yet [bertho@akhphd.au.dk]
-
- * COMMCTRL/COMCTL32 support in progress [ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de].
-
- * No manual pages describing the various Windows calls.
-	- You can find information about most of the Win32 API calls
-          on the www.microsoft.com (go to 'search').
-
- * A lot of the extensions to the GDI that were introduced with Win32 are
-   not supported at all or only in a very rudimentary way. (World transforms,
-   arc direction, GM_ADVANCED to name but a few)
-
-Miscellaneous:
-
- * Windows95 telnet.exe and NT 3.51 telnet.exe, and Borland Delphi
-   is known to go into recursion with infinite resizing, possibly
-   due to scroll bars.
-
- * mIRC 'commands' menu stays on top and will not refresh.
-
- * mIRC is unable to show 'Options' dialog.
-
- * Tab switching in mIRC 'Setup' dialog stops erasing background
-   after a random number of repetitions.
-
- * GDI memory leaks apparent in Free Agent 16-bit.
-
- * nBytesWidth in CURSORICONINFO is bogus for some bpp
-   (doesn't reflect the fact that bits are packed and 16-bit aligned).
-
- * Progman and AOL complain about being unable to convert bitmaps
-   (probably because of bytes width stuff).
-
- * Netscape displays partially downloaded inline graphics with
-   wrong offsets.
-
- * Text alignment problems in Word and Write (variable pitch fonts).
-
- * Font mapper weights are rather crude.
-
- * "Cursor XXXX has more than 1 bpp!"
-
- * SGI window manager treats Wine windows as topmost.
-
- * KDE window manager and icewm put popup windows like menus
-   below the main window.
-
- * Write shows blank space instead of Paintbrush OLE1 object ( GetDIBits()? ).
-
- * AllocCSToDSAlias() shouldn't alloc alias for the same segment multiple
-   times.
- 
- * Some programs expect that menu window handles stay the same all the time.
-   (chemdraw). This implies that the menu popupwindows are just hidden, not
-   destroyed in real Windows.
-
-Where to look in source files:
-
- * grep for FIXME in the source files.
