i for one would love to see this part of wine advance. i think it can even
be too much for a SoC, it's not that easy of a task, mostly because there's
not as good a documentation as for regular .dlls.

i don't have much info on the subject but i'd suggest you check Jeremiah
Fletchinger's patches that are not yet submitted and improve them if you
decide to take this role, as a first task.
i bet there are some people around who can give you more hints on what to do
and a good mentor :)

style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; \
padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi,<br>
<br>
I would be interested in working on WINE for Google Summer of Code (as I would like \
to get into WINE and learn more about it from the developer&#39;s side of view; I \
imagine this is a very educational and interesting experience in addition to being \
simply an interesting free software project to work on).<br>

<br>
On the ideas list is a project about improving handling of DOS graphics mode, this \
sounds interesting to me.  I&#39;ve got good experience with C, C++ and other \
programming languages as well as programming in general, but so far no knowledge at \
all about WINE apart from using it.<br>

<br>
Do you think this would be a good project to apply for and get into WINE?  (Thus both \
useful for the community as well as a good point for me without WINE experience so \
far.)<br> <br>
Regarding free software in general, I&#39;ve already worked with some projects \
including Mozilla and GCC, so I should be familiar with standard development \
practices involved.<br> <br>
Thank you very much,<br><font color="#888888">
