Hi Devs,
I've gone through xwiki-core JIRA list and i selected following three issues
out of which i wish to pick a one. But before jumping in, i need some
guidance on which one to select. I thought it's best to ask from the list
since i might not be aware of the severity of these issues.
* XWIKI-2191 <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2191> - (When user
logout, his pages locks should be removed - Reported by Thomas Mortagne)
This is the only focused issue from this list, as it has a specific
goal. It would take an experienced developer with some free time less
than 20 minutes to solve it. It would be a good issue for a complete
beginner.
* XWIKI-1538
<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1538> - (Improve
performance by efficiently using synchronized code - Reported by Sergiu
Dumitriu)
This is not something easy, as requires searching all the platform for
synchronized code, deciding how to best fix it, and all this requires a
deeper knowledge of how the entire core works, so I'd advice against
this. Yet, this would be the issue with the best impact, as it will
improve the speed.
* XWIKI-671
<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-671> - (Refactor the
code using deprecated API - Reported by Sergiu Dumitriu)
This is a good issue if you want to learn the platform. Again, it is not
something specific, and requires looking through all the code, learning
how different parts of the platform work, getting in contact with
different libraries. The downside is that it is quite large, so it will
take several days to fix all the deprecations.
