Hello Everyone.!
At the outset i would like to thank XWiki. Congos my fellow GSocers.
Glad to be part of the community.
Am Arun Reddy (irc : arunreddy) going to work on Import Export from any
other Wiki
Note that the GSoC page lists Arun as working on Google Docs
integration. Given that Arun was one of the most active students, we
considered that he deserves a slot, even though his project wasn't as
important, so we proposed him a more interesting project, one that will
benefit our users most. Unfortunately, this decision came after we found
out about the very low number of slots, when the application was read-only.
being mentored by Vincent Massol.
Your secondary mentor is Thomas Mortagne.
The project is all about making a
provision inside XWiki to import from various Wikis ( Confluence,
MediaWiki, Tikiwiki etc.. ) using a Wizard based approach.
My plan of action for this community bonding period :
1. Study Import and Export features of other wikis.
2. Fix some jira issues related to my project ( XWiki Rendering and
Parsing )
3. Coming up with ideas and use cases.
4. Research on best practices and design patterns related to my project.
5. Getting familiar with tools and XWiki culture.
6. Come up with a plan of action for the project with all necessary
documentation on approach, architecture, implemenation which is
appealing to the community.
Once again thanks for accepting.I shall put in my sincere efforts to
live up to your expectations.
