[xwiki-devs] Interest in contributing to XWiki
Hello, My name is Konrad Djimeli a third year Computer Science Student at the University of Buea, Cameroon. I am interested in contributing to XWiki and I would like to work on the Google Summer of Code project "DokuWiki importer". I am very comfortable working with Java and I have experience developing an X3D(XML file format) importer for BRLCAD during the Google Summer of Code 2015. I am currently familiarizing myself with the resources provided for this project and I am looking forward to making some initial contributions to the community by submitting some patches. I would also appreciate any suggestions that could help me better familiarize myself with the project. Thanks Konrad http://djimeli.me/
Hi Konrad, Glad to finally see someone interested in this project :) The first thing for GSOC student is to look at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines. For this project a good resource is probably the MediaWiki importer that I did recently and which is probably very close to what will be needed for Dokuwiki importer. See https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/mediawiki/ and http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/MediaWiki/. One contribution idea that could get you started is https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MEDIAWIKI-63 which is easy to do but only when you know well the MediaWiki importer and Filter API. Welcome in the XWiki community :) On Fri, Mar 17, 2017 at 8:25 AM, Konrad Djimeli <djkonro35@gmail.com> wrote:
