I'm trying to gather a list of stuff we said needed to be done at WineConf. Of course the initial list is going to be horribly incomplete but I'm sure others will contribute the missing pieces.



* Wine Wiki This seems to be done already. It's available there: http://wiki.winehq.org/


* Add a list of companies providing Wine services and support This discussion/flameware is in full swing.


* Putting the videos online
Done.
Maybe some retouching / cleanup to do if we find someone knowledgeable and willing.



* Moving the Wine doc to SourceForge
The documentation, i.e. the SGML files in documentation/, uses completely different tools from the rest of Wine. Also Alexandre does not want to deal with its translations. So move the SGML documentation to its own CVS repository, winedoc, which we could host on SourceForge. The English version would go in the en subdirectory so we can easily add translations.



* Check in the French translation and corresponding infrastructure. The translation will go in the fr subdirectory of the winedoc CVS repository. At the same time the infrastructure for adding other translations should be put in place.



* Make an easy to use cxtest script.
The idea is to have a script which could be put in a crontab so it can be run entirely automatically and which would:
- checkout / update and recompile CXTest
- checkout / update and recompile the latest Wine
- run regression tests using Wine's Winelib applications
- maybe download some free applications and run tests to make sure they install and start up
Jozef Stefanka is planning to work on this.



* Get rid of the configuration file
Well that's the 0.9 todo list. Maybe it's best to keep it separate from this list.



* Find a way to document the registry
I had a discussion with Alexandre and lamented that, now that we're going to move things out of the configuration, we won't be able to put comments describing what each setting does. However we already have the problem with all of the Windows settings. Furthermore he noted that it's hard to find where a given setting is used in the Wine code (because the registry path is encoded as a Unicode string?). And the problem is compounded by the lack of proper documentation for registry settings in MSDN.
So the idea is to create a way to document each registry setting in the source code so it can be extracted with a tool similar to c2man.pl (or with a hacked c2man.pl).
