[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Pencils down, submit your evaluations to Google, and your status to the XWiki Community

6:10 p.m.
Hello GSoC students and mentors,
Today is the firm pencils down deadline (in about 3 hours). What does
this mean?
First, your success regarding the GSoC project is supposed to be judged
on the work done so far, and you're supposed to send to Google all the
code that you wrote up until this date. (code submission will begin on
August 31)
Second, both students and mentors have to submit the final evaluations
before Friday, 19:00 UTC. Without the evaluations, the project will be
automatically considered failed, so don't forget to submit them on time,
ideally as soon as possible, not right before the deadline.
In general, I feel that all the projects have been successful, and are
good candidates for integration into the platform shortly. So, even if
the GSoC coding period is officially over, don't forget that one of the
main goals of the program is to introduce students to open source
communities on the long term. Thus, I'd be more than happy to see you
continue to be members of the XWiki open source community, hoping that
we made a good impression and made you feel welcome here. A project is
never "done", there's always room for improvements, new features,
maintenance, bug fixing, documentation and so on.
So, congratulations on your work, I hope you liked doing it, and that
you enjoyed the interaction with your mentors and with the XWiki community.
How to get out the code that you wrote?
Go to your local Git repository, and execute the following command (use
your own name for the --author parameter):
git log --patch "--before=2012-08-20T19:00z" --author=sergiu >

what was done differently than envisioned at the start.

Hi Serigu, Thomas, All,
First of all I must thank you all for all the guidance and the help you
gave me to carry out the XWiki Android Project. I deeply appreciate it.
I must say you folks are a very friendly community :-). So count me in too.
I will make sure to keep on contributing to the Android project when I have
free time. So count me into the community too :-).
Status
----------
Mile Stone 1:configuration saving and user profile sharing
Added features to save username, password, xwiki server url /auth realm
information.
In the proces added an Entity Manager to save data (this used ORMLite as
the persistence provider for SQLite DB in android)
We are not sharing user profile with other apps. So profiles sharing was
abandoned.
Mile Stone 2 Persistence support.
part 1: Implement XWiki Domain model for Android [done]
part 2: Make XWiki Domain model Document persistable. [done]
(Implemented sub module called File Store which mimics a Document Database.
Use SQLite for holding the key, Blog is saved as a File)
Mile Stone 3: Security
part 1: Add ability to encrypt each users password using a master key.
(User passwords cannot be hashed as they must be passed to the server)
But the Security Module needs more specification. Also further
functionality is not high priority. Only priority was to keep the saved
password encrypted.
Testing
Made a setup to start an XWiki Server instance inside Jenkins server for
setting up the external test fixture.
Wrote about 20 tests testing the modules I made. But the number of tests
are not adequate to check whole functionality range.
Further more we started a Data Access Layer like abstraction for Restful
WS.(Not part of the plan)
The base being a RestClint (simillar to XmlRpcClient)and implemnting a
RestFul Access Layer on top. Since the XWiki web services acted to
put,update entities (documents, its objects ...) we were able to abstract
it to simple CRUD operations. As a working implementation we have a
DocumentRAO (RAO to sound like DAO ;-)) which can do CRUD operations for a
'Document' with collections of objects, comments with replies and etc... .
Check
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Google+Android+Client&…
for more details.
But there are many enhancements left
( Lazy fetching,
additional refresh method to refresh state of the entities from server etc.
Fetch Configurations ..... Me and Thomas discussed about these. But I
couldn't complete them.)

removing what's already done and documented in

Will be very useful for anyone that want to continue working on it,

Hello students and mentors,
I know this is a bit late (back from holidays), but I`d like to
congratulate everybody on a wonderful and productive GSoC.
I hope you all had a great time and also hope to see you (students) taking
care of the wonderful projects that you`ve worked on (and possibly others
too) for the long run.
Also, many thanks to the mentors and everybody else from the community for
getting involved and ensuring yet another successful GSoC for XWiki!
See you around,
Eduard

Dear XWiki community,
I would like to thank Paul, Sergiu and all the
members in the community
for giving me wonderful guidance and support for the SOLR search component
throughout the GSOC period. It was a vey good learning experience and am
sure it is going to be more awesome in coming days [?] .
*Status :*
*
*
As of now Solr Search Component has the following features:
1. Simple text search
2. Advanced search using document fields like title, name, comments,
space, language etc..
3. Objects and Properties
4. Search attachments and text inside the readable attachments.
5. Multilingual Support.
6. Debug Mode
7. Search Filters based on space, type, language and boost values
8. Sorting based on Relevancy, Date, Author
9. Quick search
10. Admin module to index wiki as a whole or a selected space.
11. Indexing status details.
*Work remaining to be able to commit the component in platform :*
1. Auto Suggest feature
2. Admin UI with improved features
3. Search calibration (Test using Precision and recall)
4. Unit test cases and Functional test cases.
5. Fix the reported bugs.
I asked Vincent for a JIRA component to track my bugs. He suggested this.
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCONTRIB
I would be more than happy to fix the bugs :)
Detailed status and set up could be found here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/SolrSearchApplication
Progress page:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/SOLRsearchcomponent
I faced a lot issues in hosting the project. Thanks to Paul for helping me
out.
Running Instance for the Solr Search component could be found here:
http://savitha.hoplahup.net/xwiki/bin/view/Main/AdvancedSearch
The running instance has around 10 multilingual pages which supports 5
languages currently( English, French, Spanish, Cesky,
Deutsch(en,fr,es,cs,de) ) and around 200 english pages.
Thank you all once again for the guidance and will commit the remaning work
during my free time.

Hello GSoC students and mentors,
Today is the firm pencils down deadline (in about 3 hours). What does
this mean?
First, your success regarding the GSoC project is supposed to be judged
on the work done so far, and you're supposed to send to Google all the
code that you wrote up until this date. (code submission will begin on
August 31)
Second, both students and mentors have to submit the final evaluations
before Friday, 19:00 UTC. Without the evaluations, the project will be
automatically considered failed, so don't forget to submit them on time,
ideally as soon as possible, not right before the deadline.
Sent too quickly:
Third, students should send an email with their status so far, comparing
with the initial plan to see what was achieved, what was left out, and what
was done differently than envisioned at the start.
In general, I feel that all the projects have been successful, and are
good candidates for integration into the platform
shortly. So, even if
the GSoC coding period is officially over, don't forget that one of the
main goals of the program is to introduce students to open source
communities on the long term. Thus, I'd be more than happy to see you
continue to be members of the XWiki open source community, hoping that
we made a good impression and made you feel welcome here. A project is
never "done", there's always room for improvements, new features,
maintenance, bug fixing, documentation and so on.
So, congratulations on your work, I hope you liked doing it, and that
you enjoyed the interaction with your mentors and with the XWiki
community.
How to get out the code that you wrote?
Go to your local Git repository, and execute the following command (use
your own name for the --author parameter):
