- Improving our HTML/Win32 Help viewers.
What needs to be done here? Did last year's CHM compiler project produce any results? Jacek, you mentored this, comments?
What I've mentored was something else - it was a chm compiler that would allow us to make use of HTML help in Wine (eg. winecfg help) and winelib apps. HTML help is almost at the same state as it was year ago. I've improved it then to be able to use some simple chm files, but much more is needed. Most functionality is not implemented (just run hh.exe and look...) and API is almost totally not implemented. Also current implementation can't handle many chm files. I think project that would improve things would be good.
- Complete the Wine Web browser (aka. Internet Explorer) ie. frame
controls, toolbar, status bar
Steven Edwards suggested some work on that recently. Is there enough work left to make this a full SoC project?
Yes, definitely there is and it would be a great project IMO. It would be even netter if UI was designed to be compatible with IE. It means implementing plug-in support.
- Full URLMoniker implementation. (IE working with builtin urlmon.dll)
That one's for Jacek to comment. :)
urlmon.dll is much improved since then. Although there is still a lot to do, even more than a complete SoC project, someone interested in it would have to find other goal than working IE IMO.
- Get Mozilla compiling as a Winelib application
Looks like Mozilla builds in mingw32 now, so maybe that webpage should be updated. I'm not sure how much effort this project actually would be. Comments, anyone?
AFAICT Mozilla support for mingw32 is not really good (I've tried it and decided to go back to MSVC) and it's even worse if you try to compile it from Linux. I would very appreciate if someone would fix that. Even better if it was a Winelib port. From my experience their makefiles are, hmmm, not really nice to work with. Anyway, that would be my favorite SOC project.
Thanks, Jacek
