Hi Shanika,
If you are strong in Java, I'm not sure the Gadget project is the best
one for you.
Gadget project is a lot of macros and working with existing web sites.
Only java part is OpenSocial server side (Shindig) but will require a
lot of Javascript.
The Gadget project should also be a lot about fun UI for users to be
able to embed a Gadget (for example create a panel with a gadget etc..)
However do make one or more proposal to do something in XWiki.

Hi all,
I'm a final year student in Department of Computer Science and Engineering,
University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.Since this is the end of the semester, we
are bit relax. So I just thought to give a try on GSOC 2008. While I have
gone through the mentoring organizations and their project ideas, I found
the XWiki projects. Also one of my friend (Asiri), encouraged me to give a
try on XWiki projects. I have experienced on Java language and related
technologies like Spring, Hiberanate, Struts and Tiles frameworks. Also I
have worked on Java Script as well.
I'm so interested on your project idea "Gadget, Media and Content sites
integration" and want to know more details and the scope you are expecting.
I guess it is a project which has much flexibility, which allows to
integrate lot more interesting existing components like youtube.I would like
to have a discussion with the mentors about the project and sharp my
knowledge about the project.
Since this is our last semester, I'm quite free to do developments. So hope
to hear a good response from you.
Thank you.
Regards,
Shanika Liyanage.
