Hi,
I would like to work on this idea for my experience, I would like to come up
with a GWT application and then integrate it with XWiki. As I have already
planned I use these days to get familiar with GWT and XWiki more and this
would be great experience for my future career as I have been mostly doing
mobile application development nearly about an year now. There fore, I
thought contributing to this would help me to learn a lot. And it would be a
great opportunity for a student like me to contribute to such big opensource
work. I would love to stay with the community and use my all available time
towards this work, while doing other work.
Thanks,

WYSIWYG and rendering.
Here is my +1

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to first thank the xwiki team for selecting my proposal.
I am Venkatesh, pursuing my 4th year Undergraduate and Master's integrated
computer science engineering degree at IIT Roorkee [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIT_Roorkee], India.
My main mentor would be Fabio Mancinelli.
I would be working on the XEclipse Navigator, and would be concentrating on
improving it. I was an intern at XWiki last year, and had worked on XEclipse
then itself, and hence am quite familiar with its exisiting code. In the
past 2 weeks, I've also familiarised myself with the xwiki-xmlrpc
implementation.
The basic features that I've decided, for now, that shall be implemented
are:-
1) Drag and Drop (with possibly editor integration too)
2) State persistence of the Navigator
3) Display of attachments and translations within the navigator
4) Better integration with the workbench and editor
After this is done, I would like to work on improving XEclipse as such, like
a better Preferences Editor, software update bundle and more editor features
( intergrate source editors from eclipse project.
Thanks,

Hi
I`m trying to figure how to do this, i`m using the excel plugin and i want
to have a select box to select the sheet to display:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label>
<select name="sheet" id="sheet">
<option value="03-20-2009">03-20-2009</option>
<option value="03-27-09">03-27-09</option>
<option value="04-03-2009">04-03-2009</option>
<option value="4-10-2009" selected="selected">4-10-2009</option>
</select>
</label>
</form>
</label>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</label>
</p>
$xwiki.ExcelPlugin.getTable("Status.xls", "4-10-2009", "A3-H20")
The "4-10-2009" should be the value from the select...
Any ideas?

Hi Anthony,
I also liked your proposal and I would be happy to help you with the HTML,
CSS, Javascript and Velocity part for the Calendar application.
Welcome! for all the GSoC students ;)

Hello everybody!
My name is Cristina Scheau (cristinaS from IRC). I will work on "XWiki
Integration with OpenOffice", mentored by Sergiu Dumitriu. My actual design
page is : <http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/XWikiIntegrationWithOpenOffice>
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/XWikiIntegrationWithOpenOffice
It will be improved. If someone has suggestions about it, please let me
know.
The project will be an Open Office extension. In a nutshell, my action plan
is:
1. Doing some research about the OpenOffice SDK API
2. Discussing with the community about the software archtecture
3. Developing a GUI for XOO extension
4. Implementing a wizard for connecting to a XWiki server and a xwiki
navigational panel
5. Implementing the core classes that will be used in the future
development
6. Implementing the functionalities: edit existing XWiki pages and add new
XWiki pages from OpenOffice
7. Implementing the functionalities: download and upload attachments
8. Implementing : editing attachments supported by Open Office
9. Refining the GUI and adding new small functionalities
10. Improving the project using the feedback from the users.
Thank you very much for accepting me!
Have a great day,
Cristina
