I'd like to speak in favor of this application.  I've uploaded a few of 
Scott's WINE packages and they've been well done with few/no issues.  I trust 
him to ask if he has questions/problems.

I also met Scott at UDS-Boston and that confirmed my opinion of him as someone 
who is interested in building up Ubuntu and it's community.
