Hi,

I'm interested in contributing to Wine, and I'm posting here for guidance on 
how to get started. I'll start off with a bit about myself: I'm currently a 
senior majoring in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison 
and will be graduating in May. Most of my upper-level coursework has pertained 
to operating systems and networking, but I also have experience with OpenGL and 
Cocoa/Objective-C. I haven't really contributed to any other projects, so this 
is both new and foreign to me.

I'm primarily interested in improving the Wine experience on OS X. I read pages 
from http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX, but I'm not sure how much of that reflects 
the current direction of Wine development on Mac. What are the immediate needs 
for improving Wine on OS X? Off hand, I know Wine doesn't compile on Snow 
Leopard as a 64-bit binary (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=31321), but 
it seems like this issue isn't limited to OS X. I'm also curious about the 
status of the Quartz driver, and if it's something that is still being pursued. 
Creating a binary distributable also seems like something that should be 
addressed, but I understand that isn't necessarily easy given how applications 
are "installed" on OS X.

So whatever the current direction is for the OS X port, I would like to get 
involved in making it better. I look forward to hearing what suggestions you 
have for me.

Thanks,
Michael Griepentrog
