Sorry to disturb again just ignore everything I said above. New question.
I just wanna be clear on what the goals are before spending the next 10 years reading and learning C + Wine.
As a total newbie should I do things in this procedural order?
1.) K & R book.
Read "The C Programming Language" and do all the excercises.
2.) Read the Win API tutorial.
http://winprog.org/tutorial/start.html
3.) Wine Developer's Guide
Read and fully understand this 14 chapter guide before going to the next step?
http://winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/index
4.) Subscribe to <wine-patches at winehq.org>
Subscribe to this and read it until I understand everything that has been said in there? Then I do the same with this "git history" thing and do not move on to the next step until I fully comprehend these 2 things?
> Read wine-patches and the git history - to see what patches are being committed and which are not. Read wine-devel too see why. /vitamin
5.) Is it time to code now? (Janitorial)
After knowing and understanding absolutely everything or at least 60% of what's written above. Am I as a total newbie ready to code for WinHQ yet? By doing the simplest of tasks is Janitorial the simplest job around here?

You see I'm having trouble filtering out all the unnecessary links and infos you have presented on the WineHQ website. It's like climbing a mountain blindfolded without previous training in climbing. I'm like a really young 486 computer if you don't give me clear goals then I'm just gonna waste time doing everything and never get anywhere :(
