Looking for Mentors and Feedback about the summer of code proposals
Hi, I'm looking for feedback about the Summer of Code proposals as well as for mentors willing to help out follow the students work. The more we have mentors the more projects we will have. I've made a Summary of the proposals here http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SoC2006/Proposal+Summary There are around 20 good students with 15 different subjects that would be acceptable for XWiki from my point of view. We would discuss with the 5 rejected students based on duplicate subject and put them on other subjects (what is really missing ?). I've made 3 big groups of priority for the acceptable solutions. The first groups has 7 projects. The second 6/7. The third one 3/4 For the contributors willing to see the details of the proposals and also "vote" for them you can go to http://code.google.com/soc/mentor_home.html I can then accept you as mentors for XWiki. If you feel interested in mentoring one project do answer me here or directly before monday. I have to give an answer of how many projects we can mentor and this number will impact our real number of proposal accepted.

Hi Ludovic,
The more we have mentors the more projects we will have. Could you remind me what is required to be a mentor, and what will be expected from mentors?
what is really missing ? Are there any plans for a way to "package" applications and transfer them between XWikis? AFAIK at the moment it is necessary to manually recreate all of an application's classes and manually cut & paste document content in each wiki. If people are creating cool apps, we need an easier way to distribute them.

Mentors are expected to: - work on the specification with the student - be available to the students for questions (this can vary form a student to another) - check the result at different points in the projet - evaluate the student It requires some knowledge of the objectives of the project and some technical knowledge. From the XWiki point of view, if some mentors can't do everything, but can do part of it, like being a relay to me and Jeremi it would already be quite a lot of help.

We already have a lot of code from Jeremi on this. It's mainly packaging now and starting to use it to find bugs.. Jeremi's code requires version 1.0B1 which I'm late on.. I'm working on it this week. Ludovic
