[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] Today is GSOC project starting day

[Vincent Massol]

Hi GSOCers,

The bonding period is over and today starts your GSOC project period.  
Note that this doesn't mean you should drop whatever JIRA issue you  
had assigned to yourself. Please continue to work on it and *finish*  
it. It's important.

However it means that from today onwards you can start working on your  
project. The most important thing to do is send an email on the xwiki  
dev list explaining:
* what architecture you're envisioning to use for your project. If you  
have doubts/questions please mention them.
* A general planning breaking down the high level tasks you have to do  
and giving deadlines for each. That'll help you reach your objectives  
and in that manner we (the mentors and the community in general) can  
also help you by reviewing milestone objectives and helping you  
achieve them
* what are your next steps and when you're planning to have them done
* Any questions you have

Please use the mailing list over IRC and especially over direct skype/ 
chat. Again it's really important that you work with the community.  
The success of your SOC depends on that as much as finishing your  
project.

Thanks, good luck and have fun!
-Vincent on behalf of the XWiki mentors
