Please find attached some projects that could be in this Summer of Code: 1. Finishing the implementation of d3dx9_36. Since we have already the forwarding d3dx9_xx there is just need for the this dll to be in our system. With this fully dll implemented tehre would be no need.
2. msxml.dll, msxml2.dll, msxml2a.dll, msxml2r.dll, msxml3.dll, msxml3r.dll, msxml4.dll, msxml4a.dll, msxml4r.dll, msxml5.dll, msxml5r.dll, msxml6.dll msxml6r.dll and WinHTTP5.dll are all versions referring to the same API together with resoruces. Since wine is already implementing msxml3.dll I see that a good thing would be to link the rest of the files and implement them allñ together. I assume that the biggest part of the work will be repeated.
3. The same that applies to point 2 applise to all files msvcrxx.dll (msvcr80.dll, msvcr70.dll,
4, As in point 3, implementing msvcpxx.dll could also be a job

"Finishing the implementation of d3dx9_36" would be a bit too much i guess, for doing that in 2/3 months. I like the idea though, better "do some work" on d3dx9_36
Further i would find it nice if a project proposal would be something like "write a dxdiag.exe". Something like a fancy spinning cube with wine-logo, and frame-rate counter or something the like. This would allow users to quickly test if they have set up their opengl/directX stuff correctly, and if they have hardware acceleration enabled. This would be something that could be easily done in 2/3 months

I have a bunch of driver bug tests, I could share them to anyone who is interested in putting them into a test application like this.
I have a few more directx-related project suggestions:
*) Write a fixed function pipelien replacement shaders in ARB_*_program assembly or GLSL. That could be made two projects maybe. I am currently doing some infrastructure work for this, if such a project is viable depends on where this infrastructure gets.
*) Implement pixel shaders using GL_ATI_fragment_shaders and/or GL_NV_register_combiners+GL_NV_texture_shader. This would bring Radeon 8500-9200 and Geforce 4 cards up to the feature level they have in Windows. This also depends on the infrastructure work mentioned above.
*) Of course if anyone has own suggestions we're open to them as well. Please discuss them on wine-devel before applying to soc though.
My experience from last year is that GSOC projects focused on preparing infrastructure do not get too far, since they're boring and more work than estimated. Thus I've done the infrastructure work on the current proposals myself this time. This has the advantage that the student can focus on implementing code for the problem, but has the disadvantage that he has to get used to existing code.
