Hi all,
GSoC is starting this year and, if we want to have good applications, we
need to update our proposals. Usually the most attention is directed
into adding new ones, while we keep obviously bad (or just bad IMO)
proposals on the page. I'm planning to remove following project proposals:
Security - implement sandboxing
Theming - Implement Wine theming support
NTDLL - support performance registry keys
Winelib Aware Scons (or cmake)
Cleanup Winemenubuilder to support generating Application Bundles on Mac
OS X
Wine-based application virtualization
I don't think we should remove all of them. These projects should probably stay:
Theming - there are few things that could be done here:
1. Implement comctl v6 controls. Probably way too much for one GSoC project
2. Interact with host desktop environment to sync at least colors. This one
is more of a research then codding. Plus convincing AJ that we want that
code in. Also questionable if it can be done in pure C. Of course it can be
just a standalone program.
Sandboxing - a great project for a security researcher. However the scope of
it can be huge.
Thin app - depends on how to look at it:
1. Not directly helping Wine but along the same lines as Windows' wined3d.
2. Needs some tricky functions implemented.
3. Needs a way to build and incorporate win-pe wine dlls into Wine. This is
a tough one but helps some some applications as well.
