Hi, Alex~
After getting more familiar with Wine, I'm also interested in project: Implement Unicode string normalization.
But there is a question. I found the project has a conflict with Sergio' work. So I wonder whether the project is suitable for gsoc if Sergio complete his work.
Thanks for your reply~
Best regards Hua Meng

I put myself down as a possible mentor for Unicode string normalization without realizing that a lot of work has already been done on it. I think we should just let Sergio finish it. I have removed this project from the GSoC ideas list.

Yes, unfortunately I think I'm mostly done with the normalization stuff; I'm currently working on getting it accepted upstream (there are a few details missing, although I don't know if they'd be suited for a GSoC project). If, however, you are interested in working on something Unicode-related for Wine, I think there is opportunity for some good things, and Unicode can be attractive because it is relatively easy to dive into that part of Wine (much more than other parts like wined3d, at least): there is opportunity of working on optimizations, using Unicode tables to quickly verify if a string is already normalized (which would imply the implementation of the IsNormalize win-32 API function); Hangul syllable characters haven't been really tested; there is work to do for Wine in general to accept strings with characters with code points > 0xffff; the FindNLSStringEx win-32 API functon must be rewritten using NormalizeString(); among other things. If you are interested, I could help you find a suitable project, so that then you can make the proposal and talk to Alex about it.
