Hi Fitz, our GSoC 2016 student :),
The GSoC 2016 coding period has officially started on the 23rd of May.
I hope you have taken advantage of the bonding period to get up to speed
with the XWiki project, its code and documentation, and that you have a
pretty good idea of what you need to do to turn your project into a success.
As for tips and things that you need to do in the following (coding)
period, please make sure you read carefully the these 2 dedicated sections
[1][2] in the student guidelines [3], particularly:
* keeping your progress report page up to date [4]
* creating your design page as instructed [5]
* making your contribution to the XWiki project (pull request)
Working on your project is great, but it`s only half of the work that GSoC
involves. The other half is integrating into the community, letting people
know what your are working on, asking for help and learning to ask the
right questions, and generally communicating about yourself and your work.
In order to keep in touch, additionally to reading and being active on the
mailing list, you also need to be present on IRC as much as possible (at
least while you are working on your project) so that:
* people see you and can quickly get a hold of you
* you are exposed to everyday community activity that might spark your
interest
* get more occasions to ask questions
* get more occasions to help others with their problems should you know the
answer
* etc.
Hope you are finding XWiki to be an interesting project and that you are
enjoying your GSoC so far.
Thanks,
Eduard

I hope you have taken advantage of the bonding period to get up to speed
with the XWiki project, its code and documentation, and that you have a
pretty good idea of what you need to do to turn your project into a
success.
Now I'm just struggling to develop and release the first version. I have
written some small documents
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator/tree/master/document
and took screenshots of the app in the github repository
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator/blob/master/document…
. And also in jenkins I have build a small version of the
android-authenticator
http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/Contrib%20-%20Android%20Authenticator/ws/a…
, and the third-party android app for testing authenticator here
http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/Contrib%20-%20Android%20Authenticator/ws/a…
. If you have the time, you can install the two apps and help me test the
design and logic :).
Maybe in the next week I can release the first version of the
android-authenticator. now there are still some issues in jira for me to
deal with.
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/ANDAUTH-8?jql=project%20%3D%20ANDAUTH%20AND%20…
, like using okhttp replacing my custom library, the update logic of
android app new version, the security issue and the photo upload.
As for tips and things that you need to do in the following (coding)

[1][2] in the student guidelines [3], particularly:

* creating your design page as instructed [5]
* making your contribution to the XWiki project (pull request)
Thank you for your tips which are what I need :) . But actually I don't
know where and how to make my project document.
Should I update my progress report in this page
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Androidcontact2016 ?
And create (and link) pages inside the GoogleSummerOfCode space for more
details of the project ? Maybe I can have a try? :)

Uh, well, you know, now I'm not very familiar with our platform which have
such a huge code and recently I am just concentrating on my andorid
development. and sometimes I still have some school things to deal
with. Anyway I will try my best to be present on IRC while I am working on
my project :) . And in the next week, as I finish my first version, I can
learn something more, fixing the existing JIRA issues and create some pull
requsts. And also maybe I can write a complete android app combining the
android-authenticator project and android-client project(
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client). or maybe I could try to
write a cross platform mobile application(IOS, android)
using PhoneGap/Cordova. I'll keep working hard :). However, it seems that
our web pages itself can support a variety of mobile platforms
(ios/android). I do not know whether the development of mobile apps has
more value and significance? Is it necessary?

The UI works quite well with mobiles now so building a native

value IMO. It means maintaining two things that do pretty much the

Basically for me a mobile app start being useful when actually
integrating with the system (like synchronizing the contacts).

That's already very nice !
I just created
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Android%20authenticato…
as an entry point for the documentation of the authenticator. It would
probably be nicer to move it there. It's a space so you can have sub
pages like you have now.

You should probably release a beta version on play store as soon as
you have something that does anything (which seems to be the case)
even if there is limitations, it's not optimized, or some stuff don't
fully work, etc. Not sure how beta versions process works exactly on
Google play but I see this is possible. Then you send a mail each time
you release a new beta for people to test it.
People can then report stuff on http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/ANDAUTH-8
(or also directly on Google Play probably and then create jira issue
based on it).

Yes, that`s the idea. We want the project page to list the project's
description, the people working on it and the progress on the work that has
been done for the project.
This does not mean that you should put everything on the project page. Each
thing has its right place:
* Documents detailing the design and architecture of the project, basically
developer-centred documentation, go to design.xwiki.org
** I have created
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AndroidAuthenticator where
you can move most of the technical documentation you have on github
* Documents detailing the features and basically user-centred documentation
goes to extensions.xwiki.org
** See the reply from Thomas with the extensions page that he created for
you to use
* Finally, progress report about your high-level progress on the GSoC
project, basically GSoC-centred documentation, goes to the GSoC project page
** i.e.
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Androidcontact2016
** Also remember to link inside the project page report to all the other
pages you are creating (design, user documentation, source code location,
testable builds/apks, Google Play app link, etc.) so that anyone looking at
what you did can find your work from the project page.
Hope this makes things a bit clearer.

Hi Thomas, Eduard:
Thanks for the quick reply. These help me a lot with my project.
Thomas, thank you very much for reminding me of the beta test in google
play store. I have googled a little bit(
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/3131213?hl=en)
and found that we could easily run a beta test, just upload the app, share
a link with users. Maybe that's ok! As soon as I complete most of my
issues, I will upload the app in the next few days, send emails and share a
link.

Yes, it seems very interesting even though now I don't know how to do that
:) . Anyway I'll firstly finish my first version of the authenticator app.
You don't have to do that, the point was more to indicate that an
application that just do the same thing than the standard UI would not
have much value. Anyway we'll see what you want to work on after you
complete the GSOC, does not have to be Android if you want to work on
something else. There is a lot of choices in XWiki world ;)

Hi, Eduard
Very grateful for your advice :).

with the
XWiki project, its code and documentation, and that you have a
pretty good idea of what you need to do to turn your project into a
success.
Now I'm just struggling to develop and release the first version. I have
written some small documents
and took screenshots of the app in the github
repository
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator/blob/master/document…
. And also in jenkins I have build a small
version of the
android-authenticator
http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/Contrib%20-%20Android%20Authenticator/ws/a…
, and the third-party android app for testing
authenticator here
http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/Contrib%20-%20Android%20Authenticator/ws/a…
. If you have the time, you can install the two
apps and help me test the
design and logic :).
Great stuff! I will need some time to digest all of that ;), but it looks
like you`ve taken care of most of the setup and are now focused on actual
development. That`s really good! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe in the next week I can release the first version of the
android-authenticator. now there are still some issues in jira for me to
deal with.
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/ANDAUTH-8?jql=project%20%3D%20ANDAUTH%20AND%20…
, like using okhttp replacing my custom library,
the update logic of
android app new version, the security issue and the photo upload.

As for tips and things that you need to do in the following (coding)
period, please make sure you read carefully the these 2 dedicated
sections
[1][2] in the student guidelines [3],
particularly:
* keeping your progress report page up to date [4]
* creating your design page as instructed [5]
* making your contribution to the XWiki project (pull request)
Thank you for your tips which are what I need :) . But actually I don't
know where and how to make my project document.
Should I update my progress report in this page
?
And create (and link) pages inside the GoogleSummerOfCode space for more
details of the project ? Maybe I can have a try? :)
Yes, that`s the idea. We want the project page to list the project's
description, the people working on it and the progress on the work that has
been done for the project.
This does not mean that you should put everything on the project page. Each
thing has its right place:
* Documents detailing the design and architecture of the project, basically
developer-centred documentation, go to design.xwiki.org
** I have created
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AndroidAuthenticator where
you can move most of the technical documentation you have on github
* Documents detailing the features and basically user-centred documentation
goes to extensions.xwiki.org
** See the reply from Thomas with the extensions page that he created for
you to use
* Finally, progress report about your high-level progress on the GSoC
project, basically GSoC-centred documentation, goes to the GSoC project
page
** i.e.
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Androidcontact2016
** Also remember to link inside the project page report to all the other
pages you are creating (design, user documentation, source code location,
testable builds/apks, Google Play app link, etc.) so that anyone looking at
what you did can find your work from the project page.
Hope this makes things a bit clearer.
Working on your project is great, but it`s only half of the work that
GSoC
involves. The other half is integrating into the
community, letting
people
know what your are working on, asking for help
and learning to ask the
right questions, and generally communicating about yourself and your
work.
In order to keep in touch, additionally to reading and being active on
the
> mailing list, you also need to be present on IRC as much as possible least
while you are working on your project) so that:
* people see you and can quickly get a hold of you
* you are exposed to everyday community activity that might spark your
interest
* get more occasions to ask questions
* get more occasions to help others with their problems should you know
the
answer
* etc.
Uh, well, you know, now I'm not very familiar with our platform which such a huge code and recently I am just
concentrating on my andorid
development. and sometimes I still have some school things to deal
with. Anyway I will try my best to be present on IRC while I am working
on
my project :) . And in the next week, as I
finish my first version, I
can
learn something more, fixing the existing JIRA
issues and create some
pull
requsts. And also maybe I can write a complete
android app combining the
android-authenticator project and android-client project(
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client). or maybe I could try
to
write a cross platform mobile application(IOS,
android)
using PhoneGap/Cordova. I'll keep working hard :). However, it seems
that
our web pages itself can support a variety of
mobile platforms
(ios/android). I do not know whether the development of mobile apps has
more value and significance? Is it necessary?
We could discuss this later on, once your main GSoC task is closer to
completion.
As you have guessed, and Thomas also confirmed, a better approach would be
to focus on integrating XWiki into the Android operating system. Other
examples could be of integrating with Notifications, Calendar, Photo
gallery maybe, etc. we`ll see later.
Thanks,
Fitz
