Once i thought it would be nice to have off-line rendering of pages (no need
to be connected to view the results) in XEclipse (is this possible ?). But
now I'm wondering if it's worth putting another GSoC project on XEclipse
(?), since fabio seems to be doing a great great great job on XEclipse ....

I personally would like to get familiar in core xwiki development (in
contrast to add-on development), but i got no idea that would suite a summer
project yet :(

Hope you (core developers) will put up something cool (and challenging) soon
:)

Thanks a lot.
