ChangeLog: * Add regedit janitorial project

Janitorial Projects
Any self respecting project has a Janitorial project (e.g. Kernel Janitor's List <http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org>), and it's high time that we have one too. What is there to clean up? Well, lots of things! :)
Regedit fixes
Regedit lacks a few features. We need to improve regedit to:
* Allow display and editting of binary (REG_BINARY) values. * Allow display and editting of multi-string (REG_SZ_MULTI) values. * Import registry files regerated by Windows 2000 regedit
Are you sure this is a janitorial project? It sounds to me more like a normal development work and not janitorial. It would better fit into "tasks" or the "todo" lists. bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani(a)redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart

Well, it seems pretty easy and light-weight. It's not exactly janitorial, but it's an entry-level task, as opposed to the heavy duty stuff in "Fun Projects" and goal oriented stuff in Tasks. The people who I want to find it will be looking in "Janitorial". I'm trying to create a list of stuff that people can pick up and do in a few days, and keep it updated. Janitorial seems to be the appropriate place for that - in that it shares knowledge of stuff that needs to be done that is relatively self contained and/or easy with newcomers to the project so that people who are motivated can find something to do.

Maybe we need to keep a list of weekend coder projects. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

The aim is to lower the barrier of entry to the project by pointing out very specific, focused taskes that newcomers with programming experience can do. I think the Janitorial list is already a place where people can find work like that to do, which is why I added the regedit task there. Mike

I had a slightly different vision of janitorial tasks. What you describe sounds very much like the 'Tasklets': http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_st... But the wording is not what's important here. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day the programmer rested. We've been trying to debug the *&^%$#@ thing ever since. Moral: design before you implement.
