<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Hi,</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
I am new to the development of wine, part of the</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>wine
freshman class :)</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
I am really interested in developing wine for use with</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>OpenGL
hopefully to push the performance of the 3-D to</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>window$
level. I am interested in making a striped build that</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>just
handles OpenGL strictly for gaming. Any pointers that</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>any
of you can give to get me started on my journey would be</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>wonderfully
appreciated. :)</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Well, have to say that the performance
isn't all that far from the windoze level: heres a couple of benchmarks
taken from quake3 arena 1.17: (All of these were taken from a PIII 450,
128Mb RAM, Voodoo Banshee 16Mb, wine was unstripped and checked out yesterday)</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1></font></font>

<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>quake 3 linux version DEMO001: 20.3
fps :(</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>As a note a have to add the 38.2 fps
was gotten from runing pure xinit and not startx with kde.</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>All that I could see was that gamma
hadn't been implemented, which still allows the game to be playable.</font></font>

How much Win$/Linux programming experience is</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>needed
with the various tasks associated with developing wine?</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
What are the different areas (and how much programming)</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>is
required for each task of developing wine?</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
What do you think a good place for a beginning programmer/</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>developer
to start?</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
I am very excited that this group exists and I am looking</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>forward
to hacking on wine :)</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
