I just added the following idea to http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode :
Run the MDAC conformance test suite against Microsoft's MDAC, and file bugs / write test cases in C / fix anything it finds. (See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/oledb/htm/oledbctconformance_test_se..., http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/ )
(This isn't a new idea; see http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2005-December/043783.html)
This would help folks trying to run little database apps who can't/don't want to migrate to MySQL or the like. (And I promise you, there are a bazillion folks who just want to be able to run some product's installer and just use it without trying to redirect its data source to MySQL...) - Dan
