It's still in SVN: http://websvn.kde.org/tags/unmaintained/3/reaktivate/ svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/unmaintained/3/reaktivate It depends on KDE 2.0 and Qt 2.2. I started to port it to KDE 4.0 / Qt 4.3 but I had to put it on hold due to lack of time. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)

Wine hostmask for Freenode IRC

by Kai Blin

Hi folks. so what was the process of getting a wine/developer hostmask on freenode? I'll be hanging out on the #gsoc IRC channel, I'd like to make it a bit more obvious for students what project I mentor for.

Can you test test the single patches to make sure which one breaks things? Thanks, Stefan

DirectPlay finally seems possible now that the protocol spec was released. I'm happy to mentor something like that. Can we come up with more dlls that might be needed?

I think it's kind of tricky to judge the scope here.

GSoC project ideas

by Kai Blin

Hi, as promised, I'll start off this thread with the ideas we have on the wiki page [1] right now: * Implementing a WinePluginApi so other programs can use Windows DLLs inside of Linux apps * Improving our HTML/Win32 Help viewers. * Implementing the ASIO audio infrastructure for Cubase * Implement the MS Wsock dll (dlls/mswsock), an enhanced winsocket implementation * Valgrind and Wine integration (see: Wine_and_Valgrind) * Complete the Wine Web browser (aka. Internet Explorer) ie. frame controls, toolbar, status bar * Full URLMoniker implementation. (IE working with builtin urlmon.dll) * Implement transacted mode for OLE32 Storage (STGM_TRANSACTED) * Improve cmd.exe compatibility * Get Mozilla compiling as a Winelib application (http://www.winehq.org/site/winelib#mozilla) * Run the Mauve Java test suite against Sun's Windows JRE, and file bugs / write test cases in C / fix anything it finds * Run the MDAC conformance test suite against Microsoft's MDAC, and file bugs / write test cases in C / fix anything it finds * pick some real-world app or game that doesn't work well, and improve Wine so it installs and runs the app better. (Some good examples might be Photoshop, Visual Basic, a game etc) * pick a Windows feature that is incomplete in Wine, and improve the feature and its conformance tests. (Some good examples might be riched20, DirectPlay, etc) Feel free to add your own project ideas, maybe elaborate a bit on the deliverables of the idea.
