Hello All,
I am writing this to be a self introductory mail to the XWiki community. I am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Duisburg Essen, Germany.
I am interested in the undertaking the Android related project for Summer of Code,I am interested primarily in the long term project of building a library to be used in XWiki android clients.
In the area of programming capabilities, I have experience with the tools and technologies as detailed on the xwiki development wiki, I primarily use Eclipse and have used Maven, Ant, Git and others for several school and personal project (Android applications).
(I am looking forward though to getting more exposure on these and others by joining and using them in an open source community).
Nice to meet you :) Please check out the other threads about GSOC where we already discussed some points there: - about the project http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/6oqjrisfei7ndh6g
Gone through the mails sent there. but from I gather (Stand to be corrected) the direction for the project has clearly outlined. I like the idea of using a cross platform to allow the application to be easily adaptable, but not much was said about building the library. And I am a bit confused as to whether the two are being considered as distinct project or are they meant to be done together by a single person as one project.
- about resources for building http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/ptnaptmccfhz44x6
i checked out the code yesterday, I read from the wiki about getting a gazillion eclipse project when I import from just the root directory, but I wanted to see the full scope and thought well the cant be that many?? I was wrong :-D. I can see the project is very extensive. My question is where to focus on when beginning. I choose the import only the Application core project (After I got amazed, by the gazillion). But I want to know about which packages basic which will help me get up and running quick.
As you are advised to make use of XWiki REST API for this project.You can start looking at it, make yourself familiar with it first.
XWiki REST API Source : http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-rest/ Documentation : http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI
Thanks
Thanks, Caty
I have been able to checkout the source, but kinda in a jungle now, because there are a lot of projects. Will be glad if any one can point me in the right direction, with regards to where I should look first in
relationship
to the project I want to undertake.
Regards.
