2) I would like to fix some fixme (which I can reproduce), but I don't understand a lot of thins. (I'm new to wine, but not new to C). Could somebody help me to start involved in the development process?
The best way to get started is: 1. pick some repeatable bug 2. write a small C program that detects the bug 3. turn the C program into a standard wine testcase (pretty easy) 4. verify that the testcase passes on real windows and fails on Wine 5. submit the testcase as a patch
Optionally, you can go on: 6. fix the bug, and verify that the test passes 7. submit the fix as a patch
For instance, I noticed last year that the named pipe win32 api calls were busted, so I wrote a test case and submitted it. Even though I didn't go on to fix the bug, my work was appreciated, and it helped the guy who did actually fix the bug.
