Hello all , I am a 4th (final) year undergraduate from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. After going through accepted list of organizations and their project ideas for GSOC 2013, your organization’s proposal called “Live Notifications inside XWiki” found pretty interesting for me. I am fluent with Java EE technologies and HTML5/JavaScript application development. I also have nearly 1 year industrial experience on Java based enterprise application development and HTML5/JavaScript dynamic front-end developments. After going through description of the project idea I am thinking about few possible approaches to solve this problem they are *1. **Using HTTP Ajax streaming mechanism* Main drawbacks will be connection overloading and comparatively high resource usage in server side *2. **Using polling mechanism initiated by front-end JavaScript* Main drawbacks will be delay of updating frontend and request handling overheads in backend *3. * *Integration with compatible messaging mechanism like XMPP* This approach can lead to major modifications in backend to support third-party components. I have used all these approaches within various projects but need expert advice from XWiki community to choose best approach for this particular project. I have started to getting familiar with XWiki in users perspective as well as a developer. Currently I am in the process of setting up development and testing environment for the project. I ll put up a more formal proposal on due course. At this moment your comments and guidance to approach this problem is highly appreciated. Looking forward to contribute to XWiki as a developer and become a part of the community. Thanks in Advance. -- Akila Darshana Panditha SMIEEE Undergraduate (BSc Engineering) Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka. about.me/akiladarshana Telephone - *+94714407683* (Mobile) , *+94112641772* (Residence) Blog - akiladarshana.wordpress.com
