I think you missed my point. I know people are working on it. The problem is "a few people, including Codeweavers, are working on it," which is just about the sum-total of the information out there, is not enough. There is very little information out there for potential developers to know what's going on with wine and intel macos x. For instance, a status page describing to-do items would be a start (I'm going to add it to the wine wiki when I figure out what the status is). It should be mentioned on winehq, so macos x developers know to investigate further when they check wine out. Expecting people to dig through the code or the mailing list is unreasonable. Is this really only obvious to me?
I don't mean to be rude; I just see some easy ways to attract mac people to wine. Wine is likely to be an important addition to mac users' software base in the future. So many people want the "mac experience," but have to run windows software. Many more people, I'd say, than those who wanted the mac experience and the unix software suite, and look at how popular fink is. It's a disservice to both parties to not properly advertise.

What's the story with wine on intel os x?
A few people, including Codeweavers, are working on it. More would be welcome. There is no politics keeping people away, as far as I know. If you run into any developer who says that politics is keeping him or her from submitting patches to wine-patches, please let me know.
