Hi all,

GSoC is starting this year and, if we want to have good applications, we
need to update our proposals. Usually the most attention is directed
into adding new ones, while we keep obviously bad (or just bad IMO)
proposals on the page. I'm planning to remove following project proposals:

Security - implement sandboxing
Theming - Implement Wine theming support
NTDLL - support performance registry keys
Winelib Aware Scons (or cmake)
Cleanup Winemenubuilder to support generating Application Bundles on Mac
OS X
Wine-based application virtualization

If someone knows a reason to not remove them, please reply.


Cheers,
Jacek
 
Why remove theming support?

I don't believe in success of such project for GSoC. We've already rejected applications for this (at least one last year). I'd much rather see students send applications for other proposals. That's just my opinion, if others feel differently, we may keep it.

It would go a long way towards excellent desktop integration.

Agreed, but that doesn't make it a good project.


Cheers,
Jacek
