Sounds too easy...if it included something like "HLSL compiler", that would be another story.
I am a computer science student in the 4th year. Stefan's project idea seems like something that I can actually try manage to accomplish in the SoC time range provided I get a decent amount of mentoring. I say this because I do not have much programming experience, especially with something as monstrous as Wine. I have never written my own compiler nor had to look at the internals of one. All I have is good knowledge of C, a strong desire contribute to Free Software, desire to learn, and a special interest in the Wine project. In other words, I don't think this would be "too easy" for me. It will be a good learning experience, however.
Also, you have to have a well-defined project to set completion criteria. "starting the infrastructure" does not define when the project is complete.
Stefan mentioned writing a number of functions which can easily be counted: - stubs for the functions to allow the app to create all the interfaces - methods that have already 1:1 equivalents in wined3d Will comparing that to the number of functions that actually get written not be a good measure of progress?
