Hello Matt,
2008/3/24, Matt Shanks mattshanks86@googlemail.com:
Am quite keen to get involved with Wine for GSoC - specifically the project titled "Scriptable Configuration"
We have about 2 or 3 others also willing to do that project. I think you would have a better chance of doing something like the print dialog or one of the rich editor projects. They are good projects with a known boundary.
Having spoken briefly to Lei, he essentially said that the more features added to the reg.exe in Wine, the better.
I looked up what the Windows version does, and it seems like a pretty solid list of features to aim for;
True, however most of them seem to map onto an existing advapi call, so I'm not sure if it's that much work to implement.
An apparent missing feature seems to be editing an existing key value
Also, for the command line tools for wine, beyond uninstallation and windows-version calls, (from Console Configuration) are there any other particularly desirable features?
See above, you'll have more chance of being accepted by choosing another project idea. Good luck!
Cheers, Maarten
