Firstly, thanks to Roderick for the prompt reply. I had a feeling that my ideas were a little much. :-)
That being said, I've again gone over the list of possible projects on the Summer of Code page and one that particularly piqued my interest was "Direct3D - Conformance / Performance / Interactive tests". This seems like it may be a good fit given my lack of previous experience in the Wine codebase. I haven't written any code for 3D-ish games but I can't imagine that would be a huge setback. Maybe Dan Kegel or someone else who has worked on D3D can comment here?
If that is not feasible, I think I would be a strong candidate for the "Test Suite" project since my scripting-fu is fairly strong.
I've been looking through open Wine bugs but I've yet to find something that fits with GSOC and my skill level. If there are any suggestions for specific bugs to look into maybe I could build a project around one.
Thanks!
John
