GSoC - keyboard input

Hi guys,

if it is not too late, i would have a proposal for GSoC. I'm waiting
quite long for "BuildActionMap, SetActionMap, EnumDevicesBySemantics
& co", i.e. to make games like need for speed happy/playable (bug 8754).

Thanks for reading,
W.

If you want to work on that it sure is more then duable. Only it would need
to be everything, including joystick, not just keyboard/mouse.
Keyboard/mouse is about one week worth of work tops.

This would be welcome, I have had "DirectInput - Implement missing
DirectInput8 features" in the ideas list for two years now ;)

Hi Vitaliy & Marcus,
this is unfortunately misunderstanding. I'm bit old for being a student
although i remember for university studies with love...

So i could not even qualify for GSoC and also my coding skills are pretty
bad (probably none, in front of yours). The initial email was meant
as proposal, if there would be volunteer who do not know what to do
or his ideas were too high for GSoC, so some of the mentor could him
offer this "DirectInput job".

Sorry for noise - i was not aware, that there is a page http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode
which has all the needed "jobs".
