I have been thinking about a few different ideas for WINE/SoC. One of the official possible ideas is to improve a non-working application.
My proposal would be to improve WINE's support for Star Wars: Empire at War (which currently has a garbage rating on both WINE [ http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4616 ] and Cedega [ http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/games/view.mhtml?game_id=3795 ]). The proposal's goal would be to provide a Windows-native level of support for Empire at War, or at least improve Empire at War support to a playable level.
I would like a some feedback, if possible, before submitting.
1. Is this a weaker, or less useful to WINE, proposal because it would lead to likely result in more bug hunting than feature writing? This is quite a bit more open ended than working on a specific WINE feature (such as Rich Text Editing).
2. I do not know how much work will be needed to get the game working well. Currently, it crashes while loading due to an audio bug, but it is possible that I might only need to fix a few bugs to get the game to a playable state (though I think this is unlikely, the game is seems very picky on Windows). Would this be a problem?
