Hi Everyone,
I'd like to first thank the xwiki team for selecting my proposal.
I am Venkatesh, pursuing my 4th year Undergraduate and Master's
integrated
computer science engineering degree at IIT Roorkee [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIT_Roorkee], India.
My main mentor would be Fabio Mancinelli.
Hi Venkatesh!
Congratulations and glad to have you aboard again.
I would be working on the XEclipse Navigator, and
would be
concentrating on
improving it. I was an intern at XWiki last year, and had worked on
XEclipse
then itself, and hence am quite familiar with its exisiting code. In
the
past 2 weeks, I've also familiarised myself with the xwiki-xmlrpc
implementation.
The basic features that I've decided, for now, that shall be
implemented
are:-
1) Drag and Drop (with possibly editor integration too)
2) State persistence of the Navigator
3) Display of attachments and translations within the navigator
4) Better integration with the workbench and editor
After this is done, I would like to work on improving
XEclipse as
such, like
a better Preferences Editor, software update bundle and more editor
features
( intergrate source editors from eclipse project.
It seems fine as an implementation plan.
I am pretty busy these days but I'll try to discuss this further with
you as soon as possible.
Anyway, don't hesitate to ping me.
Cheers,
Fabio
