[xwiki-devs] [GSOC-2017]

Hello! I'm last year student of Computer Science Master at AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow, Poland. I'd like to take part in GSoC working on XWiki. I've never heard about XWiki before, and I got very interested with the idea of "Second generation wiki". And so, I'd like to contribute to this fancy idea, and get to know the project better. The task that I'd like to take is "More extension repositories". I'm a Java EE Developer with one year experience of working in real world company. Frameworks that I worked with: Spring, Hibernate and many other smaller ones. Of course I worked with REST and Http protocol, so I think I'm quite prepared to the task. I spent some time trying to build locally XWiki Platform system - on both Windows and Linux environments and there're always some problems. I followed all instructions given here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building. <http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HTroubleshooting> Do you have something like configured Virtual Machine on which I can run building seamlessly? Or do you have some troubleShooting wiki, when you post solution to common problems. (I guess mailing list is not the best place for pasting logs and asking for help, right?) Best, Krzysztof Płachno
