Hi Anthony,
Go ahead and submit your application in the project you are the most
interested in. Show us that you have the knowledge and capabilities to
learn and interact with the community.
You have even more chance if you show us that you can learn fast and do
something with XWiki just after installing it.
The SOC process is competitive. There are lots of good students. The
most important thing is the motivation and willing to interact with our
community for the whole time.
This means no holidays !!!

Anthony M. Rosequist a écrit :
I'm very interested in participating in the Google
Summer of Code Project this year, and I came across XWiki while going through the mentor
list. Unfortunately, I've never used XWiki before, but I would like to get involved. I
am currently finishing up a 2-semester internship at a transportation company working
almost exclusively in J2EE / web applications. I've also done some small projects
(personal and in school) using GWT.
There are a few proposed ideas that I'm especially interested in (Calendar
application, Cross-Browser WYSIWYG Support, Survey application, Import/Export, and Photo
Album application). Do you think I would be in over my head to submit my application for
XWiki GSoC? I would have to catch up with XWiki (from an end-user standpoint as well as
the code base), but I guess that's what part of the "orientation" time is
for. I just didn't know if there was already enough interest from developers with
experience in XWiki to fill all of the spots.
I'll be out of town the next couple of days, but I'll be working on my
application proposal. The registration opens on Monday, and I'd like to submit it
shortly after -- I read that some projects will give feedback and allow you to re-submit
if you're being considered for acceptance but need some changes.
I'm sorry -- this was more of a story than a question. I just wanted to express my
interest in GSoC and was wondering if you've already got a large turnout of people
more experienced than myself.
Thanks,
Anthony
