Sorry for the delay in my reply, but I took a vacation at the end of the coding period. I am happy that I got the complete main task that I wanted to get done, which was adding support for tables in richedit controls. There are some finer details that I would still like to finish, such as the selection behaviour within tables. I also need to fix a regression that has come to my attention, and review any of my patches that weren't accepted yet. All of this will be easier to do once I get back to my development computer, since I am still away from my home in Ottawa. I was also able to spend time on plenty of other richedit control issues that weren't related to implementing tables. I found this helped me to get to know the richedit code quite well, as well as the code for wordpad which I often used for ad hoc testing. I did end up spending more time on this than expected, so I decided not to attempt working on windowless richedit controls during the GSoC coding period, however I only mentioned that I would work on windowless richedit controls if sufficient time were available. I have also managed to learn a lot during this project, which was the first open source project that I had contributed to. I have also learned a lot more about development in a unix environment since windows was my main operating system until 9 months ago when forced myself to use linux primarily and confine windows to a VM. I am also glad that I have the opportunity to continue working on Wine, since it is open source. Hopefully I will find enough free time during my Masters to continue contributing to Wine.
