Our goal is seamless Wine integration into the Ubuntu desktop. Users won't even realize they're running Wine - they're running the applications they want.

Introduction
The Ubuntu Wine Team is here to make it easy to run Windows applications under Ubuntu. We can make it even easier than Windows itself.
So, you want to help with Wine in Ubuntu? Great!
Stuff we do
Community tasks:
- Answering questions about Wine usage, and directing users to the appropriate resources
Development tasks:
- During open development, help direct upstream Wine development towards the features we need.
Most of Wine development is upstream at winehq.org, however there are a substantial number of Ubuntu-level things we can do. See Contributing for more.
- Near release time, figure out the best version of Wine to ship for the stable release and backport relevant patches.
Our goal is seamless Wine integration into the Ubuntu desktop. Users won't even realize they're running Wine - they're running the applications they want. For Intrepid, this means implementing the BetterIntegratedWine blueprint. For longer-term goals, we have BestIntegratedWine.
See Contributing for how to help more.
Contact
Our IRC channel is #ubuntu-wine on Freenode. It still needs to be properly registered. For now, just message YokoZar (ScottRitchie).
We will have a mailing list, however it also needs to be created.
There is a Wine in Ubuntu forum, however it is mostly for user level questions and not development discussion.
Projects
The Wine package is maintained by ScottRitchie
Our main upstream here is the Wine project, however we will also need help from other upstreams for different integration tasks.
Most important right now is implementing Console Configuration within Wine. This is a blocker for other integration tasks.
Stuff we need from other projects (eg gnome-app-install) will be outlined here. For now, check BetterIntegratedWineSpec
Launchpad Membership Policy
There is an Ubuntu Wine Team in launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine
So far, membership has been simply accepted and the team hasn't been used much. This will change after our first meeting.
Meetings
Our first IRC meeting will be scheduled later. For now, just join #ubuntu-wine on Launchpad, which is lurked continuously.
Agenda:
- Figure out the specific role of the Ubuntu Wine Team in launchpad (Launchpad bug contact?)
- Find volunteers for the different development tasks
- Make sure we know who to contact from other teams when we need something (eg, a Windows version of the Hardy theme)
- Decide how often to hold meetings (monthly, bi-weekly)
