Want to know if Adobe Photoshop CS5 will work on Lion? What about AOL Radio?
The good people at RoaringApps have put together a wiki detailing which apps have been tested so far on Lion, and if they work or not. There are currently seventeen pages of apps on their App Compatibility Table, all listed in alphabetical order, with details about each app.
The website promises to deliver "a collaborative wiki community to track, discuss and dissect application compatibility for Mac OS X Lion" stating the site is built using "advanced wiki technology that allows anyone to contribute to the knowledge-base." RoaringApps aims to have "the most comprehensive list of application compatibilities on the interweb."
The site offers one-click editing, where anyone can create a new entry, and members of the community can update and maintain application profiles. Members can also access the community forum, where you are encouraged to discuss apps, OS X Lion, Apple, or whatever you want.
It's also a great reference tool if you want to check to see how all of your apps will perform on the big cat. Or, you know, you can just upgrade and hope for the best. Either way, to RoaringApps, "Good on ya, mates."
