Hey all!!

[Stephan Rose]

Ok guys, something's gotta change. I gotta stop logging into MS Sloth to
play Supreme Commander ;)

So that said, what can I do, where can I help? =)

To give a little info on my background, I've been programming for
roughly 10 years now...everything ranging from embedded &
microcontroller stuff (PIC / ARM) to high end MS Sloth Applications.

Familiar with DirectX, OpenGL, C/C++, C#, x86/ARM/PIC Assembly...

I am of course unfamiliar with the whole wine source code. I did look
over the rather daunting to-do list and wouldn't even know where to
start. =)

So I figured I'd send an e-mail out and see if anyone has any good
suggestions. =)

I'd really love to help with this. I for one think it's a great project
and XP has really got to stop taking up one of my precious hard
drives...

Thanks =)

Hello Stephan,

There is a little ToDo list here as well :-)

I think the best thing for starting is to just debug your game and try to find 
out what is going wrong. Unfortunately this is tricky because wined3d is 
rather complex already, and some parts are still messy(surface/texture 
management and initialization come to my mind).

It has been some time since I made my way into wined3d, and a lot of code and 
concepts came from me during the last months. So I do not know what problems 
a newcomer faces. Fabian Bieler recently started working on wined3d, maybe he 
can give you some hints how to tackle the codebase? I'm CC'ing him.

If you have any questions or face some issues to not hesitate to ask either me 
or Henri Verbeet. Maybe we can compile a list of questions / hints on the 
wine wiki too.
