Hi Christian,

Gone through the mails sent there. but from I gather (Stand to be
corrected) the direction for the project has clearly outlined. I like the
idea of using a cross platform to allow the application to be easily
adaptable, but not much was said about building the library.
And I am a bit confused as to whether the two are being considered as
distinct project or are they meant to be done together by a single person as
one project.
No the project did not changed which could be maybe another proposal
at some point but not by me since I'm not convince with the cross
platform Idea.
My is proposal is focused on a very good library and a kind of demo
but useful UI based on it to serve as example for all android
applications. So the most important is: all that has to be very clean,
follow Android good practice and well designed and easy to read (for
an Android application which have its own performances constraints of
courses ;)). This also mean maven build of the application and
anything that makes release manager life easier and well integrated in
our general build. From my point of view that's the only way to have
something really maintained, improved and used on the long run.

Forgot the other part of your mail :)
A good start is to look at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DebugXEWithEclipse as
which would be your development environment on which you add specific
module you are interested on.
The main extra module would be REST one as Arun pointed out, you can
find its source on
https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-rest/
(both server side and current Java "desktop" client which is a lot
more basic that what i see for android) and of course the API
documentation on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI.
BTW it would be great to try to have the most possible common code
between a desktop client and Android client library since both are
Java based (by separating the project in modules for one is Android
specific and what is Java specific). Makes also easier to unit test
the common part.
Thanks Caty for the prompt response.

I'm glad you are interested in the project and especially on the side
I think is the most interesting one.
In the area of programming capabilities, I have experience with the tools
and technologies as detailed on the xwiki development wiki, I primarily
use
Eclipse and have used Maven, Ant, Git and others for several school and
personal project (Android applications).
(I am looking forward though to getting more exposure on these and others
by
joining and using them in an open source community).
Nice to meet you :)
Please check out the other threads about GSOC where we already discussed
some points there:

I have been able to checkout the source, but kinda in a jungle now,
because
there are a lot of projects. Will be glad if any one can point me in the
right direction, with regards to where I should look first in relationship
to the project I want to undertake.
Regards.
