Those seem a bit too advanced for me sadly . <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 8:34 PM, David Lee Lambert <<a href="mailto:davidl@lmert.com">davidl@lmert.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Steven Sayers wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I've been studying programming quite a lot lately and I was wondering if there were any programming projects any of you were engaged in that I could assist with, I'm most familiar with java. ------------------------------------------------------------------------<div class="im"> _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu" target="_blank">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user" target="_blank">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> </div></blockquote> I can't say I'm "engaged with" any open-source projects, as I'd have to get permission from my current employer's lawyers (and they're a big company with a lot of lawyers) to submit a public contribution anywhere. However, I do have a few pet projects I'd like to see implemented, and I could send you my notes on some of them off-list if you might be able to do something with them. A few are: 1. Add Office 2007 (multiple XML in a ZIP, like OpenOffice) or Office 2003 XML import/export support to JExcelAPI. (The current maintainers have said they have no intention of doing so themselves) 2. Add legacy sound support (win16 audio functions and better PC speaker emulation) to Wine. 3. Defragmentation support for ext2/3/4fs. Or, at least, a nice graphical display of the way in which a filesystem is fragmented. (The graphics could be done in Java, but there's probably a need for a new kernel interface to actually move parts of files around.) -- DLL </blockquote></div>
