Hi, Jack, and welcome to XWiki!
It`s great to see your interest and enthusiasm!
As far as I can see, both projects you are interested in are mainly
UI/application projects, so the existing student guidelines [1] should be a
good starting point for you. Basically you need to get acquainted with
developing XWiki applications and packaging/publishing them as extensions.
This means installing XWiki and using it a bit, understanding the data
model, dev practices, web API (velocity, javascript, etc.)... that kind of
stuff.
Also, remember that you will need to have at least one good (easy/medium)
Pull Request for an existing (or even new) jira issue before the student
application period ends.
Please feel free to ask us specific project-related of XWiki related
questions that you come across while going through the online
documentation, learning process and even jira issue fixing.
We`re here to help along the way.
Thanks,
Eduard

Hi devs,
My name is Jack Zhang, and I’m enrolled to begin my undergraduate studies
this September at Harvard University, where I intend to study Computer
Science. I am currently taking a gap year (time off from academics between
secondary school and university), and at the moment I spend my days working
full-time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and pretty much the rest of my free
time doing web development at betterworldcollective.com <
http://betterworldcollective.com/>gt;.
I’ve been wanting to get involved with open source for quite a while now,
and I’d love to spend time this summer contributing to XWiki! I am
comfortable with HTML, CSS3/Bootstrap, JavaScript/jQuery, MySQL, and PHP.
I'm also acquainted with Java OOP. I am particularly excited about two
projects:
1. Creating the Blame View UI
2. Glossary Application
I understand that both of these projects are still somewhat open-ended,
so I look forward to delving into XWiki’s use cases and exploring Apps
Within Minutes to better formulate some details on the implementation and
UI of either one of these projects. That being said, any pointers or
suggestions are certainly welcome!
See you all on JIRA :)
Jack
