Thanks Everyone,
I will try to update about my progress every week(Every Monday). I am spending this week mainly learning about basics of Velocity and some more on Java. Meanwhile I am also going through developers guide and looking for issues that I can start with. Also I think I would have to think(and research) about, what would be the requirements that I would need in the initial stage of development of the "Glossary Application”.
Welcome aboard! :) To start with, I’d recommend that you follow the FAQ tutorial at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial/FAQTutorialMan... Have you done it already? Also you should read a bit on how the xwiki project develops code. All the info is on the dev subwiki at http://dev.xwiki.org Especially: - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/CodeStyle - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Testing Let us know when you’ve done all that. You should also pick and try to fix some simple jira issues: https://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=Difficulty%20%3D%20Easy%20and%20resolutio... Let us know on IRC or on this list if you need some help. Please consider using martrix for IRC since it saves history and we can have a conversation even when you’re not connected, see: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Chat Thanks -Vincent
Thanks :)

Hi Everyone, I am Sarthak Gupta from India. First of all I want to thank XWiki community for selecting me for GSoC-17 and giving me a priceless opportunity to contribute to this organisation and improve my present skills. I also want to thank all the XWikiers who helped me during the application period for understanding the project as well as the organisation. :)
I have been selected for for the project "*Glossary Application*" under the mentorship of *Vincent Massol* and *Paul Libbrecht*.
Glossary Application <http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/# HGlossaryApplicationbySarthakGupta>
Some more info:
Presently I have only solved one issue ( https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/BLOG-32)on *jira* but will try to solve more during the upcoming period for better understanding of the organisation.
I have already created a design page for the project http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/GlossaryApplication and will be updating it regularly as the project progresses.
Github user name : sarthak-sopho <https://github.com/sarthak-sopho> xwiki.org username : sgc_072 jira username : sgc_072 IRC nick : sgc_072 (also used sgc072 in past)
I am also planning to create a blog regarding my GSoC project in the near future (on one of the popular blogging sites).
I will try to remain active and chatty(*as said by Eduard Moraru* :P) on both IRC and the mailing list in the coming period.
I hope that this will be a good and enjoyable learning experience for me and with your support I will complete this project successfully with flying colours. :D
Thank You Sarthak Gupta
P.S : I am really sorry for the delay in introduction. Due to my end semester examination and travelling to my home, I was not able to introduce myself on time. Now I have summer vacations and a lot of a work to do. :P
