Yeah it's me, Thank you for creating a repo and
giving me permission.
According to you my first step should be creating a maven based build. So I
will look into it because I never did that before.
Don't know very well android plugin for maven but will help you on
that and will look at it. Also don't hesitate to ask any specific
maven related question here.
Best Regards,
Chamika Weerasinghe

)
* REST
helper: list/generate/execute all the supported REST requests.
Probably possible to share this with the desktop client.
* high level tools based on REST request: document caching et
synchronization, basically anything which is more that a direct REST
request and not a widget. Maybe cut this module in two if we can find
parts that can be shared with desktop client, will be impossible for
caching and synchronization I guess or at least not entirely
* widget module: contains android widgets that can be reused in other
android applications (XWiki navigator, editors...)
* the application: I proposed an android application which help
editing and navigating an XWiki instance in
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Androidclient
because that's what demonstrate most of the REST API but if you have
other ideas to demonstrate on Android side no problem. Most of the
widgets used in this application should be in the "widget module" if
they are generic enough. We don't have yet the notion of
friends/connexion that will comes with wiki3.0 project otherwise that
would have been a good candidate for android contact synchronization.
Note that I think the first thing you should do before the first line
of java code (or maybe at least the hello world of the application ;))
is to have the skeleton of all that with nice maven based build
configuration that anyone can build anytime just by executing "mvn
clean install" and test it.
I just created a https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client
repository which is where you will put your code during this GSOC.
If you don't already have one you should create a github account and
indicate it to me so that you I can give you the right to push on this
repository. >
