Hi Roman,
I`ve forwarded your mail (below) to the dev list. I hope you don`t mind :)
As you can see from the XWiki's GSoC organization application form [1], the
criteria to be a mentor do not include being a committer. This means that
you can be a mentor or even a co-mentor if you need someone more technical
to help you help the student.
You have some nice ideas and it would be a shame to discuss them in private
because some people might like them enough to get involved as well :) We
are currently in the brainstorming phase and everybody is encouraged to
contribute on the mailing list and on the idea list [2].
Also, in order to qualify as a valid idea, we need some more details that
could better explain what the objectives are, both to a student and to the
other mentors. Please feel free to provide these details either here or in
the ideas list, when adding the idea (recommended).
Before students start submitting their applications, we will make sure that
there are no invalid ideas listed, so you should not worry about breaking
anything.
Thanks,
Eduard

Subject: Some more ideas for GSoC 2012
To: Eduard Moraru <enygma2002(a)gmail.com>
Hell Eduard,
I have several ideas for GSoC, but of course I doubtfully can be a
mentor for it.
That's why I did not disturb the mailing list and contacting you
directly for "censorship".
The ideas are all around making XWiki part of the project management and
tracking environment.
- Develop "Google Docs" for XWiki (concurrent edit, multiple formats
[word, excel, ppt] etc)
- Implement integration with agile project management tool (something
similar to Jira-Confluence tandem)
- Develop test case management application (something like e.g.
http://www.testlog.com/ or http://testcollab.com/ )
- Develop requirements management application ( this one I'm not sure
about because "requirements management" is a fuzzy term)
Hope you'll find those useful.
Regards,
Roman

Hi devs,
XWiki is planning to participate in this year's Google Summer of Code [1].
The organization registration period has already started and the deadline
is the 9th of March [2] (a bit more than one week).
1. We need to provide by then a list of proposals and assign mentors for
the students that are going to implement them.
I would like to ask everybody that wants to participate as a mentor from
the XWiki organization to review the proposals [3] list (that is currently
empty) and add as many interesting proposals as possible.
The proposals can be either new, or they can be revived from previous year
proposals. Just navigate to the previous years, find the proposal you like
and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to
this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project,
update it's description if needed and wait for the student applications to
start pouring :)
2. We also need to submit the actual application [4] of the XWiki
organization to participate to the GSoC 2012 project so I would also like
to ask you to review it so that we have a better chance of being selected
into the program.
Thanks for your help,
Eduard
