As many of you may or may not know, wine-staging is a large set of experimental
patches which provide various improvements to WINE, but are not quite suitable for
upstreaming. This set of patches has been continuously managed for many years by
us, a small group of volunteers. The way this works is that we often review patches
attached to various bug reports found at https://bugs.winehq.org/ which may fix bugs,
but may not be quite suitable to be upstreamed due to needing some cleanup or more
proper implementation. In the event that this happens, we add the patches to wine-staging
instead, and keep them updated/maintained as well as attempt to clean them up to be upstreamed.
We also both write and verify patches which fix various bugs that may not have patches,
and in turn allow them run better using WINE. This includes testing on various hardware,
games, and applications.
As this is a volunteer project which is separate from WINE and CodeWeavers, any expenses
for applications, games, or hardware which we do not own comes out of pocket. This is the
reason this patreon has been created. All of our work is provided publicly for free and can
be found at https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging. We do not expect to be paid for
any of the work provided, as mentioned this project is completely voluntary. However the
proceeds from Patreon are most definitely appreciated, and go towards helping us with
obtaining the various hardware and software mentioned. This in turn allows us to continue
to perform testing, provide fixes, and get them upstreamed, ultimately aiming to provide a
better experience for all WINE users.
