Hi all! I'm looking for suggestions for starter projects for new contributors that would take something like a week to do, and wouldn't require much knowledge of Wine ahead of time.
Tests!
I agree completely. Testing the API is especially relevant for win32 developers, because they're coding an API they're familiar with. Even if a new developer has little programming experience, win32 or otherwise, tests are a great place to start. It helps the new developers by familiarizing them with the particular API they are testing, and it sheds light for not only wine developer's, but anyone who references wine as a source of win32 API information. Tests verify our implementation of the API, and make sure no regressions sneak into the code.
