Hi,
I know that I was pointed to the README file for my first german translation "because it is pretty stable and no major overhauls are planned". ;-) Nevertheless, I refuse to not offer you a little bit of my time to update some parts of the README and README.de files (the other translators would have to follow because I don't speak their languages well enough).
I have two major update favorites:
1) Fabian Cenedese and others have made some good remarks about parts of the README being not precise enough or a little bit wrong / outdated. I would like to work on these sections.
2) Someone on the ML of my local LUG asked a rather simple question that would fit to the "quick start" section IMO. He asked how to include original MS fonts into wine because some Windows application seems to demand them being present (physically). A short explanation of this and the possibility to use native DLL files would perfect to a README file I think. Using native files certainly is not a primary goal of wine development; on the other hand it could help new users or users with tricky applications a lot.
I will wait for your positive or negative feedback before I will post to wine-patches. If updating the README at this time is not wanted at all, please let me also know. I would offer then my help later.
