Re: [xwiki-devs] Android XWiki authenticator and contact synchronization - GSOC 2016

If Manish wants to contribute to xwiki.org's design, as Vincent said, ideas can be proposed on design.xwiki.org Still, since there is no SCM for xwiki.org this wouldn't be a valid GSOC application (and also since it was not in the Proposed Projects list) so this could be considered as work for the 'Student Application Period', but not as part of the 'Code Evaluations'.
