This is my first time to develop WINE. Any comments/suggestions?
Improving Rich Edit is great appreciated! Interesting, one of GSoC2013 students Jactry Zeng is planning on implementing ITextDocument as well [1] [2]. Maybe it is a good idea to work with Jactry together, if that doesn't violate GSoC rules - actually I don't know, hopefully Austin English or other GSoC mentor/manager could comment on this.
If you are interesting in Rich Edit, there are a lot of bugs to be fixed :) [3]
Some of them may be good for beginner, for example this one with a test case [4], or maybe this one [5] which has a basic diagnosis.
dlls/riched20/tests/ contains some example to show how Rich Edit api works, play with Wine's buitin wordpad maybe a good idea as well.
Before you implementing something or debugging something, there is no harm to learn as more example as you can from website like msdn or codeproject. Be careful on copyright issues: never disassembling or tracing Windows binary. For those things without public document, the only way I know is guess and test :) (Since I know you personally, I believe you are good at this kind of fun :p )
Once you decided to debug on an app, WINEDEBUG=+tid,+richedit may be useful for you, also you can have a look at other debug channel [6].
I hope this helps, feel free to ask in wine-devel if you have further questions. My experience on Wine is limited, so my suggestions maybe not work, maybe not the best, hopefully other developers with more experience could help you when you get in trouble :)
