Hi,
I updated the cabinet.dll status per greg.. Fix bullet links again.. We have the History of wine as Poor *I* changed it to Adequate as there is a changelog going back 5+ years.
My impression of "History of Wine" was that it should go into details about how the project started in the beginning. Like anecdotes and stuff... I may have totally misunderstood. :-)

Not really, this is exactly what I was hoping for myself. A dry changelog is not very readable...

So, may I ask if either of you plan to volunteer to write a *official* History/Time line page ?

Im no writer, really, so no, I don't plan on working on this. Hopefully a better word craftsman will volunteer soon...
I would volunteer but I have so little time to research the entire history that it would take me probably 2 years, unless I can have a volunteer send me an outline of the history and I will write it as a formal document..
criteria:
-who started it, where he is now, why alexandre is the maintainer now and who he is -why it was started and what it is and does/doesnt do -a little about the original developers -some major accomplishments -business partnerships -later developers that are no longer with us (Hidenori, Guy, etc) -introduction of the DMCA and other copyright laws -switching from BSD to LGPL and the controversy behind it
(not necessarily in that order) can anyone else think of anything?
If nobody can do that I will do it with what little spare time I have.
Could we do mini-interviews in it or is it to be just a straight "this is the history of wine" sort of thing?
