I read the WineHQ newsletters when they come out to try and keep up on the goings on of Wine and what will run on it. I noticed that the Wsock32.dllwas suggested as a SoC project. I wanted to point out that Vista X64 has issues with this dll and some of the newer programs arent accessing it right. This could be a really good project to take on for someone as it would give people that are having issues with Vista to use Wine.
I also thought that possible control panel rewriting so that it looks better would be a good project. Make it more user friendly. Easier to access. My descriptions of what things do on each tab. Just an overall nice,easy,good looking control panel would be really helpful to first time users. the current winecfg looks like crap and isnt at all user friendly to the first time user. I was a first time users a year ago and I still dont understand half of the control panel.
Wine Plugin project might be really useful too. It would help companies that cant afford or wont make direct linux ports to have some kind of ability to get their porgrams working without official linux support.
The three things listed above all come from me playing NeverWinter Nights 2. OEI wont make a linux port but have been pretty supportive of Wine in their forums on bioware. .NET is also something needed to get the toolset working, but I thought that was a little big for a 2-3 month project.
