Acknowledgment page

by Tom

Hello everyone, A couple months back I voulenteered to do a Acknowledgment page and to say the least i'm a bit stuck. I have a first draft/alpha that i'm going to attach here. I would like to know if there is anyone who would like join me in doing this page? Or if anyone here has some ideas on how to improve, complete this page? I would like to see a discussion on setting a criteria for this page. As this will be a very important page on the winehq site. So any and all feedback is most welcome. Tom business that donated significant code to Wine http://www.codeweavers.com/site/services/accomplishments 1. Made Wine work with Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Lotus Notes and Quicken 2. Made Wine work with QuickTime, Windows Media Player and Shockwave 3. The Wine 1.0 Initiative 4. Wine Bugs Database 5. Wine Application Database 6. WineHQ Redesign 7. Wine Documentation 8. Winemaker, or making Winelib actually useful 9. Easy to use Configuration 10. Address Space Separation 11. Unicode/code pages support 12. Dramatic window management revision 13. Shared Window handles 14. Most of the DLL separation work 15. Debugging API 16. Lots of work on the common controls 17. About a gazillion bug fixes 18. Making many more installers work http://www.corel.com/ Corel dedicated a team of paid engineers to the Wine project in January 1999. This team focused on adding functionality to Wine that let Corel applications, such as WordPerfect, CorelDRAW, and Quattro Pro run on Linux and be ported to native Linux applications. In the past, Corel relied on conventional porting techniques to move some of its applications (Corel WordPerfect 8) to Linux. This provided a fast way to get these applications to Linux, but meant that porting had to be repeated with each new version. Otherwise, development had to be maintained on two separate code bases, which required considerably greater resources. Although there is an up-front investment in time and energy required to make Wine viable, once it reaches a high enough level, the facilities it provides can be used repeatedly to port many applications with minimal engineering effort. http://www.macadamian.com/column/wine101.html macadamian got involved with the Wine project through partnership with Corel Corporation. http://www.transgaming.com/ 1. 2D DirectDraw 2. DirectSound 3. DirectInput 4. DCOM, RPC 5. WIDL IDL compiler 6. Wininet code, including SSL support. http://www.deneba.com worked on winelib extensively in order to make Canvas work. http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/index.html Implementation of Windows-style asynchronous I/O over sockets in Wine. As well as small contributions to advapi32 and netapi32. http://www.reactos.com/ 1.Wine Registry Editor (regedit) contributions. 2.Shell32.dll code contributions 3.Am I missing anything ?????????????? People that donated money Lindows.com helped to put on the first Wine developer's conference in 2002, by both hosting it and paying travel expenses for many major Wine developers. Codeweavers.com helped to put on the second Wine developer's conference in 2004, by both hosting it and paying some expenses for major Wine developers. Below is a short list of people who have given money to the wpf. If you have given money to this fund and would like to be included on this page just send a e-mail to wine-devel and ask for inclusion. * Dimitrie O. Paun * Michael Stefaniuc * Nick Capik * Tom Wickline * Gregory M. Turner * Sylvain Petreolle * Dan Kegel * John Alvord * Kirk Ruff * David L. Harper * Bob Hepple * Mark A. Horton * Kevin P. Lawton * The Syntropy Institute * James Woulfe * VMWare Inc. Major code contributors Okay this is where I'm really stuck... First off I was not here the first eight years of this project so I have no idea of who was the guru of the day. Also some may say if you list one person you should list everyone. But that is the job of the Authors page. So should I just say here is the full list of people who have given there time and work and link to the Authors page ?

I am afraid that this exercition is in many cases changing perfectly valid C code, but with warning, to possibly buggy code without warnings. I do not like this idea at all.

Ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.

RESEND CryptEnumProviders a->w cleanup and tests

by James Hawkins

Hi, I'm not sure whether these two patches were misplaced or they were considered not good enough to be committed, but I've included the patches now. I spent a lot of time hunting down any bugs in my unicode version of CryptEnumProviders as well as writing tests of its functionality. All the tests succeed except for one (wrong error message being sent back from undersized buffer) but that bug is a part of the original CryptEnumProviders as well and as soon as this patch can be committed, I can submit a fix for that bug. If there turns out to be problems with the patch, or the style is not up to par with wine coding standards, please let me know, because I really want to get this committed. -- James Hawkins

Please be more careful when doing that sort of thing, only change the ones you are absolutely sure about. We don't want to introduce bugs just to silence warnings. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

> I dont think so....... I know, sorry about that, but in the wine-patches archives there appears to be an extra space amstream/ - MultiMedia Streams + atl/ - Active Template Library avicap32/ - AVI capture window class but if I do the diffing on my pc I don't get this. But patching works with both your patch, that appears to have the extra space, but doesn't, and with my patch that doesn't appear to have an extra space. I have of what is going on. BTW the patch that I sent was edited manually, so had a missing space at every added line. Ivan.
