Wine may join the next Google Code-In, so this page is for collecting potential tasks.
Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
Add one more REG.exe option: Bug 19533 (split this into the single options)

Fix a WineHQ Website/Bugzilla/AppDB bug
WineHQ is our development infrastructure with a web presentation, bug tracker, application compatiblity database and more. Still there are bugs and we want you to fix one of them. You can find the code in one of the projects here: https://gitlab.winehq.org/winehq/ And a list of bugs here: https://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=STAGED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=WineHQ%20Apps%20Database&product=WineHQ%20Bugzilla&product=WineHQ.org
Documentation/Training: Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more
Document the install procedure for Wine on Linux Mint at our download page (see discussion/talk page)
Do a Video about compiling Wine on a Linux machine
Compile Wine on your Linux machine, at best with as much dependencies as possible. Take a Video of it with e.g. SimpleScreenRecorder or Kazam and share it online on a popular video-sharing website
Outreach/Research: Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketing or studying problems and recommending solutions
Make a social network post about your best running application in Wine
Try your favorite applications in Wine and post about the best running one on a social network with a screenshot showing that it runs in Wine.
Do an updated slideshow possibly based on one from Dan Kegel
Do a Video about running an Application in Wine
Run a application in recent Wine version, pick one where you think others could be interested in especially this Windows application. Take a Video of it with e.g. SimpleScreenRecorder or Kazam and share it online on a popular video-sharing website
Add a new Application to the AppDB
Have a look for applications you use which are not yet listed in the Wine AppDB at https://appdb.winehq.org/ Run one of those applications in a recent Wine version and add the application entry with your test results to the AppDB
Add a new Testreport to an existing Application in the AppDB
Have a look for applications you use which are listed in the Wine AppDB at https://appdb.winehq.org/ Run one of those applications in a recent Wine version and add your test results to the AppDB
Make a list of suggestions how Wine could be presented on OpenHatch
Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
Run a git bisect on a regression on the lower part of https://source.winehq.org/regressions
At WineHQ our regressions are tracked at https://source.winehq.org/regressions At top are regressions which are already tracked down to a specific commit and on the bottom there regressions which need a git bisect to track down the commit which caused it. There are instructions on how to do that.
Test old Wine bug in current Wine Version
Wine has lots of bug reports which get older and older without receiving an update, one needs to download that application and test it in the latest version of Wine. Here you can find bug reports not touched for a year which have a download link: https://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&list_id=542286&namedcmd=1y%20old%20%2B%20download&remaction=run&sharer_id=4672
User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction
None yet.
Old task we don't want to use anymore
Those tasks don't provide much benefit for Wine, but cause a lot of work for maintainers. The new focus of Code-In for Wine should be outreaching to get new Users by showing them what Wine could do and potential new developers by letting them code
