  By the way don't forget to make your proposal
final since the deadline is
 today.

  Hello,
 I want to do some JIRA task as a part of my application for GSoC. I
 encountered some doubts.
 1. I asked questions in comments in 2 issues. Is it the proper way of
 discussing them or should I ask about them on mailing list?
 Links to those issues:
 
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13496?filter=10534
 https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12704?filter=10534 
 It's the right way but weekend is not the most active part of the week
 around here :)
 I will look at that and try to think of other issues that might be
 interesting for you.

 You need to "fork" the reposirory to want to work on, then you create
 branches in your fork and create pull request from those branches
 (github will automatically see it's a fork and propose pull request to
 the source reposirory).

What's the convention for proper naming of bugfix or feature branches?
 Examples that I found are following: "feature-XWIKI-12544",
 "feature-alfresco-link" or simply id of ticket: "XWIKI-7553" 
 The branch will be on your fork so it does not matter much but the
 naming convention on root repository right now is
 "feature-<whateverouwant>".
 I know that I sit down to coding a bit late, but I hope I'll manage do
 upload at least one Pull Request before deadline.
 Best,
 Krzysiek
 
  P.S. I haven't encountered any Java project
so far in which the code
 convention was to put opening curl bracket '{' in new line :) 
 That's only for methods actually :)
