I'm personally a relative Noop to Wine on Mac intel development. My goal has been to conquer the threading issues that keep it from running most modern-day apps, but I haven't really found the support (at least from the darwine email lists) necessary to write this component. About the only place there I've contributed was on the have a separate vs don't have a separate email list, which IMHO if they have one PPC should be mentioned as when I see the Darwine project I see it as one aimed at Intel macs, not PPC. That may be the reason that my responses have gone quiet over there -- intel isn't a goal. Dave --- James Hawkins <truiken(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I think you missed my point. I know people are working on it. The problem is "a few people, including Codeweavers, are working on it," which is just about the sum-total of the information out there, is not enough. There is very little information out there for potential developers to know what's going on with wine and intel macos x. For instance, a status page describing to-do items would be a start (I'm going to add it to the wine wiki when I figure out what the status is). It should be mentioned on winehq, so macos x developers know to investigate further when they check wine out. Expecting people to dig through the code or the mailing list is unreasonable. Is this really only obvious to me?
You could just ask, "Hey, what's the status of Wine on Intel Max OS X?". No one has really stepped up to work on that aspect of Wine, outside of Codeweavers, so there's not a whole lot of incentive to put this information up. So if you're wanting to work on this, step up to the plate, and I'm sure we'll be more than willing to help.
