The list of bug report numbers in these Wine news is not very useful, it’s a pain to hover every one to see what it’s about. Much better to simply point at the official announcement that has a proper bugs list!Lol true. I get about 3 in and give up. Easier to just copy the winehq buglist imo.

I would like to ask for a vote on bug list format:
a. Remove the bug list
b. Let it stay the same
c. Copy the look from the announcement
d. Start a thread on the forum and take this discussion there
Vote by writing choices from the most desirable to the least.
Example:
c
d
a
b
I will make the final choice, but I will pretty much go with the the most popular choice if enough votes were cast.
Voting will be counted in debian-ctte way. Vote is open till the next release of Wine.
