Hi Jactry,
thanks for the interest in Wine.
I'm not that much familiar with Richedit, but as i understand you have your own idea and it's not related to
"Richedit - implement Windowless mode" from the ideas page. That's fine, i'm just curious.
Your idea sounds good and shows that you made your homework. In case it's mostly implementing ITextDocument
you should consider naming it something like "Implement/Improve ITextDocument in Richedit".
Today the Student application period opens, so be free to send in your proposal.
