Obviously wine is still being actively developed, and I know its not close to "done" however, I want to get involved, I know C/C++ and have a pretty good grasp of windows apis, I'm just wondering is there a place (kinda like in the Mono project they have a tree laid out with all of the classes/functions that are in the .NET runtime, and they have them marked done, being worked on, not started...) So I'm wondering if wine has anything similar? or should i just pick a function, and see if its done already by searching through the source? At any rate, wine should have a nice concise place to look and see if wine has certain functions implimented.. Tom _________________________________________________________________ Broadband?

The following page is a good starting point too: http://www.winehq.com/about/index.php?contrib If there is a specific Windows API area that you know well, then that would be a good place to start. It will be easier for you to identify bugs in the Wine implementation and you will have a better grasp of how to implement things if they are not implemented. Another approach would be to write conformance tests for this API area. Chances are you will quickly find bugs in the Wine implementation and you can then either choose to continue with writing conformance tests or go fix these bugs. Our you can take the traditional route, i.e. take an application that you would like to use on Linux and fix any bug you see. If you like the emulation of working with others you can join one of the current efforts like the COM/DCOM work or Direct3D. Or if you don't want to step on anyone's toes you can choose something that nobody seems to be working on.
