Hi Jian,
It's great that this project drive so much attention :)
I will copy/paste what I told Manish since you are interested in the
same project:
We mostly discuss projects here so no need to contact me directly.
What is in
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator is
mostly a not finished crappy POC aiming at the following goal:
1) Provide a reusable standard Android authenticator that any
application would use to communicate with an XWiki instance. The same way many
applications propose you to reuse the registered Google accounts for example. It
must be as safe as possible (no clear password given to all
application asking for it for example :)).
2) As both an example of how to use this authenticator and a very
useful tool, implement a synchronization adapter which will be in
charge of:
** putting all (or a configurable subset of) the users from the
wiki in your Android contacts and automatically update them
** (nice to have) allow modifying those Android contacts and send the
modifications to the wiki
There is a lot of stuff already started but should not be taken as
granted and at the end the result should be:
* well documented (especially what an application author should do to
use that connector properly but also for anyone that want to continue
working on it)
* have automated tests
* easily built without something like Android Studio (probably graddle
which seems to be the new standard in Android world. XWiki is mainly
using Maven right now and Maven have Android plugins.), it will also
need to be automatically built on
http://ci.xwiki.org
Of course the plan is to have it on Google Play Store at the end :)
Feature wise this project is not very big (and it's already started)
but the most important thing is to be as standard and integrated as
possible and easy to use for applications that would want to
manipulate an XWiki instance.
Your proposal should details what you plan to do, what Android version
your are targeting (should support version as old as possible since
latest version are far from being as common as application authors
would like them to be :)), etc.

Dear developers:
My name is Jian Guo. I have been studied Software Engineering for
two years in Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST), China. I
noticed that you have been accepted as mentor organization in GSoC 2016. I
am familiar in Java and Android Development so I am really interested in
the idea - Android XWiki authenticator and contact synchronization
mentioned in your idea page. I would like to ask whether there are more
details about this idea. What does the "Android account" refer to here?
Looking forward to your reply.
