Hi,
I am a student of University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka, currently following my
Chemical and Process Engineering degree. Although I'm not a computer science
student I found it is a very interesting subject, especially Java
programming. I have experience in developing Java programs and web based
application using JSP technologies. Last year got the chance to play with
the xWiki and I must say I really enjoyed working with it. So I thought it
is better if I can participate in the XWiki project through the GSoC 2011.
Recently I had my 3rd semester end exam and was unable to send an
application earlier, since my exam is now over and having two months of
vacation I'm pretty sure that I can successfully participate in a project
for XWIki.
I looked at the project ideas in your web site and found some of the ideas
are quite interesting. I'm interested in the following two ideas.
Add support for parameters types in Wiki Macros
Great you are interested by the project.
First of all for this project you need to really well understand what
wiki macro are and play with wiki macros.
You will see that one limitation of theses kind of macros is that all
parameters are strings which is sometimes painful compared to java
macros when dealing with lists and stuff like that. So the idea is to
define a way to define a type for each macro parameter like we do in
java macros so that when you execute your wiki macro the parameters
already are converted to the right java types.
Structural Search and Replace
I really appreciate your feed back and guidance on this matter.
Kind Regards,
