[xwiki-devs] [ANN] Official Google Summer of Code projects

Hi everyone, Here's a great news: Google has given us 10 (yes ten!) slots this year and here are the projects/students we have selected: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/xwiki/about.html * SSO and OpenID Support by Markus Lanthaler, mentored by Thomas Mortagne * REST API for XWIKI by Cismaru Alexandru, mentored by Sergiu Gabriel Dumitriu * WebDAV Interface for XWiki by Asiri Rathnayake, mentored by Ludovic Dubost * XWiki Watch: UI & ergonomics improvements by Ecaterina Valică, mentored by Anca Paula Luca * XWiki Office import by Wang Ning, mentored by Vincent Massol * XWiki Syntax validation, coloring and suggestion in XEclipse by malaka, mentored by Fabio Mancinelli * Distributed XWiki Search Engine by Sai Krishna Pendyala, mentored by David Ward * XWiki Offline project application by Eduard Moraru, mentored by Sergiu Gabriel Dumitriu * Collaborative Business Drawing in GWT by Miguel José Carvalho Bento, mentored by Jean-Vincent Drean * Presentation Application by Arpit Jain, mentored by Jérôme Velociter Welcome aboard to all students! Please make sure you read and understand the "Suggested way of working for SOC students" on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ More specifically it's now the bonding period. As such we'd like each SOC student to pick one or several existing issues in JIRA and send a patch that fixes it/them before that period ends (from April 14th to May 26th) This is a critical integration step to ensure all SOC students understand how XWiki works and it's a chance to start asking questions and get to know each other. Thanks a lot -Vincent
