While looking around for a project idea, I noticed that people are starting to ask for pressure sensitive tablet support in Photoshop on Wine. Seems like it could be a fun project for some Summer of Code student.
Update: wintab32 is already implemented in Wine, but there's a new API being pushed by Microsoft for Tablet PC applications. So the idea is instead "Get Tablet PC applications working on Wine", focusing on Tablet PC apps that offer pressure sensitivity, say.
(I thought that FIrefox's GeckoTip extension used the new tablet PC APIs, but after looking at the source, I'm not so sure... I'm sure there are lots of good demo apps somewhere.)
This assumes that Tablet PC apps don't yet work on Wine. I haven't tried... the place to start is probably to get the Tablet PC SDK (a free download if you have Windows) and start playing with it. - Dan
