- When to post patches
I could start producing patches quite soon. For instance, I could post patches when the WTInfo function is working. Or, I could wait till the whole system is working fully with at least one app?
I would say produce patches sooner rather than later (with meaningful changes, of course).
- Size of the patches.
Is it better to break patches into small (valid compile, but non-functioning) chunks, or to release large functioning patches?
I prefer smaller (again meaningful) chunks.
- Config files
Wintab will need some config data. I assume the best place to put this is in the ~/.wine/config file, within a registry key named "wintab"?
Sounds good.
- Development notes.
I have some notes on the design that other developers will probably find useful. Where in the wine project should they go? There seems to be no place for rough notes.
Put them at the top (after the LGPL header) of the main file.
- Cross-platform abilities
Is there any need to think about allowing alternatives to XInput to plug into the wintab dll?
I'd say let's first get something working (and integrated into the tree) first, then worry about other alternatives.
