Hi All,
I'm Visitha Baddegama, a final year undergraduate
from the Department
ofComputer Science and Engineering, University
of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. This time I'm planning to contribute XWiki Project
under Google Summer of Code 2013.
I'm glad you picked XWiki!
I am fluent in Java, C# languages,and Web technologies. And I was a student
of GSOC 2012 under the DocBook project [1] and sucessfully completed it
[2]. By working on that project I got deep knowledge in technologies like
XSLT, XML, JavaScript, HTML, Ant, Make, JQuery and CSS. And because of I
have developed lot of Android and Phonegap apps, I am familiar with HTML5,
CSS, JavaScript and JQuery mobile too.
Great.
At the end of last November, I joined to OwnCloud [3] (An Open source
personnel cloud) community and already I have developed few important
features to OwnCloud's messaging app, calendar app and files app.
Is OwnCloud participating to GSoC?
I went through the GSOC 2013 idea page [4] of XWiki and found several very
interesting projects. Among all of them, I am looking forward to work with
"Improve the Messaging Feature" project. As our department group project,
we have already developed very similar features to OwnCloud messaging app
too. There we improved to display unread inbox message count on the top of
message app icon and improved it to display messages as conversations in
smart phone. And we tried to integrate it with FB/Google chat application.
Therefore I have huge eager to apply to this project and have a good
confidence that I can successfully complete this project and give my whole
strength to this project. I will send you a proposal including how I am
going to develop this project. I think we can add few additional features
to messaging app other than expected functionality too. Please guide me to
next steps of this project. And I warmly welcome any advices and guidance
from you to improve my knowledge in this project.
I successfully integrated XWiki to my machine using this [5] and now I am
gathering more knowledge in XWiki and its features. Looking forward to be a
part of XWiki community.
You should start by playing a bit with XWiki to understand what it
does. See the current state of the messaging feature. Then you should
read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome in order to set
up your work environment. Next you should check the open issues (
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI/component/11160 , for the message
stream) and try to investigate/fix one of them to get an idea of how
the code is organized.
Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask more questions here or on IRC.
Marius
Thanks in Advance..!!
