Wine and Summer of Code 2011

says projects can apply starting on Feb 28.

In preparation, I moved the 2010 projects from
http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode
to
http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode/PreviousProjects

I also added a DSS Provider project idea, removed the gstreamer
idea since that's implemented, and tidied up the dxdiag idea a bit.

Who's interested in mentoring this year?  And can y'all think of any
fresh ideas for the suggested projects list, or ideas that should be
retired?

Isn't IUri implemented?  That idea looks like it could be retired.

Also, the DOS VGA modes idea:  how is that affected by the DOSBox integration?

On that same note, how about DOSBox integration? I know Alexandre
started it, but my understanding was that he was hoping for someone
else to take over, potentially with some work in DosBox itself as
well.

I would be interested in mentoring again this year.

How about implementing wscript builtin script API?

- Wine IE GUI
Its easy parts are mostly already implemented in hacky way. Further work 
requires improving underlying libraries, which probably is not something 
for GSoC.

- Improving HTML Help viewer
Its GUI is mostly implemented. APIs to control it are mostly stub, but I 
don't think it's a good GSoC project. It requires at least rewriting 
description.

- Implementing CHM compiler
It looks like time would be better spent improving chmc.
