Hi students and mentor,
The students can now start sending proposal to GSOC website.
Some of you already contributed and discussed with the community on
various ideas listed on http://gsoc.xwiki.org/ which is great !
Others still have time to ask questions and show they could be good
candidates to work on XWiki during this summer.
Good luck to you all :)

Hello,
I've been given a website to modify using the XWiki CMS. Been looking, trying to understand how to modify the top banner on each page, as well as deleting the banner altogether on an individual page that "pops up" with some information. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
We were supposed to release 9.2RC today but we’re a bit late on the Admin UI refactorings. Marius is finishing a working version by tonight so we should start our release tomorrow.
Hope this is fine with everyone. Note that we shouldn’t delay more since 9.2 final is next Monday.
Thanks

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

Hi XWikiers,
Good news, this year again XWiki has been selected as mentor organization !
The next step is for mentors to register to
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ as ask to be mentor for XWiki
project (admins can also send invitations). Also don't hesitate to add
more proposals on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ (there is only
proposals from two mentors right now), more details or co-mentor
existing proposals.
Some students already started to communicate with the community which
is great so continue and read
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines to
have a better idea of how to get more chance to be selected by XWiki
mentors.
Good GSOC 2017 !

Hello XWikiers,
This proposal is about adding a new blog type: the isolated blog.
An isolated blog is a blog that is created in a given space (local blog),
the blog categories and posts are created/visible only in that space.
The objective of creating this separate blog type is to allow having
independent blogs in the same wiki and to not break the actual blog use
cases.
An isolated blog is subject to following conditions:
*Posts*
- The isolated blog posts will be created in the local blog space
- Only blog posts located in the local space will be displayed in the
blog home page
- Prevent the global blog to display posts from isolated blogs
*Categories*
- New blog categories are created into the local blog space
- On the blog post form only categories located in the isolated blog
space will be displayed
- The 'Categories' panel display only categories located in the isolated
blog space
- Categories from isolated blogs are not displayed in the global blog
category panel
*Panels*
- Only display local posts in the 'recent posts' panel for isolated
blogs.
- Prevent isolated blog posts to be displayed in the global blog 'recent
posts' panel.
- Only display local unpublished posts in the 'Unpublished posts' panel
for isolated blogs
- Prevent unpublished posts from isolated blogs to be displayed at
global blog 'Unpublished posts' panel.
- Isolated blogs will be removed from any RSS feed but will be visible
on the one matching the isolated blogs.
- The 'archives' panel will not be modified because it already follows
the isolated blogs conditions in the case of local blogs
*How to create an isolated post?*
On the Blog/Management page
- Add a checkbox "Isolate this blog"
- When the checkbox is checked:
- Create an isolated blog in place of a local blog.
- Create the default categories (News, Personal, Others) into
the local space
WDYT?
Hi,
With Mohammed, we have prepared design proposal
(http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/BlogImagethumbnails) in
order to improve the visual aspect of the Blog application. Currently the
application is not really visual, and compared to the competition, it does
not look appealing as it could be.
This is why we propose to introduce image thumbnails linked to blog post,
and to use those images when displaying blog posts as lists. Since pictures
are better than words, see the screenshot in the design page for more
details.
WDYT ?
