Hi, I just wanted to call to the Ubuntu list's attention that there is also a discussion of getting tablet PC support into Wine. Developer Dan Kegel even suggested it as a Summer of Code project.
I encourage Charlotte (or anyone else interested in tablet PC support) to also give the winehq list a try - they might even help mentor you. Also, if your summer of code project seems to help multiple Google-sponsored projects (eg Ubuntu and Wine), it's more likely to be approved :) Thanks, Scott Ritchie >From the wine-devel mailing list: Re: SoC idea: Tablet PC support (was: pressure sensitive tablet support) On Fri, 2007-03-23 at 18:57 -0700, Dan Kegel wrote: > On 3/21/07, Dan Kegel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > While looking around for a project idea, I noticed that people > > are starting to ask for pressure sensitive tablet support in > > Photoshop on Wine.
