GSoC proposal

[George Stephanos]

Hello wine-devel!

This is my proposal as a student for Google Summer of Code 2013.
I'm George Stephanos from the "Arab Academy for Science and Technology"
situated in Egypt. gsteph on #winehackers
I'm currently about to finish my second semester as a BSc in CS.

Previous Experience:
I haven't developed for Wine before though I've always been a big fan of
the project.
I'm fairly good with C/C++ and Python and I think I have enough Win32 API
experience. I've previously developed small WinSock, DirectX and classic
GUI applications (with and without MFC).
I'm a freelancer. I've worked (alone) on around 25-30 projects rating 4+/5
in each.
I've enrolled in Google Code-In 2010 and 2011 (which is basically GSoC for
high school students) writing lots of ARM assembly code for VideoLAN
(#x264dev on freenode). In 2011, I would have ranked 12th if not for an
issue that occurred between VideoLAN and Google.

Proposal:
I've read your ideas page and the only registry task [1] has particularly
caught my attention.
I'm aware of what I need to do. I've read [2], [3] and [4].
I haven't yet browsed the Wine tree at all and I'll probably be missing
implementation strategies but that'll hopefully be worked out with my
mentor.
