Hello everyone, I'm interested in doing some work on the wine project.
There's quite a few bugs in the bug list are any in particular that someone would recommend as a good place to start?
I have started a list of bugs that should be reasonably simple to fix, even for someone new to Wine, i.e. without extensive knowledge of how everything comes together. Have a look at it and choose one subject you are insterested in.

Another item which is not in the list and which would be very useful to Wine is if you could write 'unit tests' that test the behavior of specific APIs. There are two frameworks: the perl framework and the C framework. Currently the perl framework is the more advanced of the two and should be working. There is not much documentation about this yet but you can look at dlls/kernel/tests for a sample test written in Perl. For how things may look like in C the best would be to look at the january archives.
I might need to document for my own good also. Any guidelines on what/how that should be so it can be contributed?
I am not sure I understood your question but here are some documents which you may find useful:
* Documenting Wine http://wine.codeweavers.com/docs/wine-devel/documentation.shtml
* Submitting Patches http://wine.codeweavers.com/docs/wine-devel/patches.shtml
* both coming from the Wine Developer's Guide http://wine.codeweavers.com/docs/wine-devel/
I hope you will find the above useful. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
