Anyway, I'm really interested in maintaining the Wine site as per http://www.winehq.org/site/contributing , and would love some more info on the the responsibilities and aims.
My thought is that we're doing just fine on the web site. In fact, we should probably remove it from the "Contributing" page. Between Newman committing lostwages patches, me doing news, and a boatload of new stuff flowing to the Wiki, I think we're ok. Plus, Dimi got suckered^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H promoted into doing the doc maintenance. Another idea I had was regarding fonts. What do you guys think of having the task of creating some TrueType fonts? A lot more projects besides Wine would benefit and it's something that could be done with no coding skills. (Can you tell it bugs me every time I download the Core Fonts?) If that was deemed reasonable, we'd have to figure out what fonts should be tackled first. Maybe Arial? The to-do list would look like: 1. Figure out if tracing glyphs is legal. If not, find some TTF fonts someone is willing to relicense. 2. Trace glyphs or relicense fonts. 3. Import new glyphs into fontforge.
It's deceptively simple.
