If you have had exposure to Microsoft source code, then I believe I'm right in saying that you are not able to work on Wine, I'm afraid.
I have written to the Software Freedom Law Center about this, but the License included with the Windows Research Kernel is actually pretty permissive (even allowing me to copy a small number of lines of code, actually. Which I wasn't going to do anyway though).
I worked on the control panel last year, and was in the process of converting some winecfg pages to separate applets - indeed, there's some outstanding work in my git repository that needs finishing/merging (but I have had a lack of time to work on this year, sadly.) Assuming you aren't barred from contributing for the aforementioned legal reasons, then there is lots more work that can be done on improving Wine configuration and so on if you're interested in that. Theming and the test suite are also areas which could do with work though, and you may be able to make a more substantial project out of those areas.
Thanks, then I will have a closer look at the test suite and at the themeing stuff and maybe apply for a project in one of these areas. Regards, -Tim
