Hi,
I would be interested in working on WINE for Google Summer of Code (as I
would like to get into WINE and learn more about it from the developer's
side of view; I imagine this is a very educational and interesting
experience in addition to being simply an interesting free software project
to work on).
On the ideas list is a project about improving handling of DOS graphics
mode, this sounds interesting to me. I've got good experience with C, C++
and other programming languages as well as programming in general, but so
far no knowledge at all about WINE apart from using it.
Do you think this would be a good project to apply for and get into WINE?
(Thus both useful for the community as well as a good point for me without
WINE experience so far.)
Regarding free software in general, I've already worked with some projects
including Mozilla and GCC, so I should be familiar with standard development
practices involved.
Thank you very much,
Daniel
i for one would love to see this part of wine advance. i think it can even
be too much for a SoC, it's not that easy of a task, mostly because there's
not as good a documentation as for regular .dlls.
i don't have much info on the subject but i'd suggest you check Jeremiah
Fletchinger's patches that are not yet submitted and improve them if you
decide to take this role, as a first task.
i bet there are some people around who can give you more hints on what to do
and a good mentor :)
