Hi Nitish,
Nice to see you`ve done some reading and are starting to get a decent idea
about the big picture of how things work.
I`m sure Vincent could give you more details about the RedPen project, but
as far as I see, you`ve got a good idea of what needs to be done for this
GSoC project. You just need to study on how it could be achieved and detail
the approach you are going to take in your proposal. The dev guide[1]
should have enough resources to help you understand about the velocity API,
script services, event listeners, javascript API, application organization
and that sort of stuff that you might need for you to get the job done.
You will need to also include a timeline with milestones of how you are
going to plan the work you propose to do. Think about the steps you need to
take and plan accordingly. Remember to be realistic about your abilities
and it's even OK to plan to do a bit less features, but as long as you
commit to something that you can finish by the time the GSoC coding period
ends. This includes testing and documentation.
Also, remember that you need to get into the details of a particular issue
and manage to submit a Pull Request to show us that you can understand and
solve actual problems. A good proposal should either go a bit deeper into
the technical details and/or be accompanied by some good code (Pull
Request), proving that you understand the challenge.
Don`t hesitate to ask for help, but remember to keep it to specific
questions.
P.S.: Try not to create multiple mail threads if they all speak about the
same thing. Instead, reply to the existing mail thread (or to another
user's reply) in order to not lose focus and context.
Thanks,
Eduard

Hello sir ,
For the past few days, I had examined and read the documents you mentioned
about RedPen Integration in XWiki.
Since I am new to XWiki, I also researched about XWiki itself.
I was able to extract the following information :-
1.) XWiki is a free wiki software platform written in Java with a design
emphasis on extensibility.
2.) It is large Scale structured Wiki.
3.) Can make Page Editing (like wikipedia) easy & fast.
4.) Can help to change the Wiki Layout .
5.) Easy link integration . Can change the Wiki layout also.
some Advance features :-
1.) Can integrate Code also through it.(simple scripts can be included in
the wiki pages like
python,velocity,etc).
2.) Xwiki allows us to include META-DATA in the pages.
How it works :-
1.) Xwiki core has many API's.
2.) There are different Classes & each class can have different instances
or Objects.
3.) In XWiki there is possibilty of adding Objects like :- Tag Object , etc
4.) Application in Xwiki = set of Pages (Classes , Objects ,...).
The Current Idea for GSOC :-
The Idea is to integrate RedPen inside XWiki.
What is RedPen??
1.)RedPen is a proofreading tool that helps writers & developers to write
Technical documents or manuels
without any error.Basically, it improves the quality of documents.
2.) Can only be used for natural languages not computer languages.
Why to use in Xwiki??
In many cases , XWiki users had to write some Natural language documents ,
so in order to reduce the error ,
a RedPen integration would be great.
How??
1.) There can be a RedPen plugin in Xwiki, Which will list out all the
errors when the user will save the
documents.
2.) RedPen does this , by using different validators.
3.)RedPen supports the following validators.
1.)SentenceLength
2.)InvalidExpression
3.)InvalidWord
4.)SpaceBeginningOfSentence
5.)CommaNumber..etc
According to our requirements , we can insert more types of Validators.
RedPen users can extend RedPen by creating new Validators. (In JAVA)
I also tried to read "REDPEN INTELLIJ IDEA PLUGIN".
It is easy to install RedPen Plugin in it , but sir can you help me a
little on how to basically integrate it
to XWiki. I need some help in this case.
I tried searching on JIRA , but was to able to extract relevent info from
there.
It would be great , if you could guide me little. I am willing to learn new
Technology if needed.
Also, what are the things that should be included in the GSOC proposal (I
need some help in that also)
Looking Forward for your Help , reviews & suggestions.
Thank you.
regards,
Nitish Chauhan
