Hi Vincent, I am done with the FAQ tutorial. I now have the basic idea that how a page in XWiki is created. Though I am facing some difficulty with the syntax, but I know it will come with time. :) As far as I have understood there are generally two ways to create an application in xwiki. The first one is by simply using AWM and another one is by declaring data xobject(classes), following procedures afterward and writing codes which certainly add more to the application. I saw some slides by Guillaume Delhumeau about using velocity in XWiki. Those have helped me a lot(Thanks, Guillaume!!). I went through the following things - Continuous Integration doc. I understood the technique of Binary Dependency builds. - Coding styles on each of the languages that are used. - Back-end Development Practices: - Component module documentation.(I have to understand it more clearly, maybe later). - Front-end Dev Practices. - Building XWiki from sources.(Looked it in Application period too). - Basic Idea how testing is done. In a nutshell, each and everything is tested at each subsequent stage. I have already asked most of my small doubts on IRC(some of them were silly :P).

Thanks Everyone,
I will try to update about my progress every week(Every Monday). I am spending this week mainly learning about basics of Velocity and some more on Java. Meanwhile I am also going through developers guide and looking for issues that I can start with. Also I think I would have to think(and research) about, what would be the requirements that I would need in the initial stage of development of the "Glossary Application”.
Welcome aboard! :)
To start with, I’d recommend that you follow the FAQ tutorial at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/ FAQTutorial/FAQTutorialManual
Have you done it already?
Also you should read a bit on how the xwiki project develops code. All the info is on the dev subwiki at http://dev.xwiki.org
Especially: - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/CodeStyle - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Testing
Let us know when you’ve done all that. You should also pick and try to fix some simple jira issues: https://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=Difficulty%20%3D%20Easy% 20and%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved
Let us know on IRC or on this list if you need some help. Please consider using martrix for IRC since it saves history and we can have a conversation even when you’re not connected, see: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Chat
Thanks -Vincent
Thanks :)

Hi Everyone, I am Sarthak Gupta from India. First of all I want to thank XWiki community for selecting me for GSoC-17 and giving me a priceless opportunity to contribute to this organisation and improve my present skills. I also want to thank all the XWikiers who helped me during the application period for understanding the project as well as the organisation. :)
I have been selected for for the project "*Glossary Application*" under the mentorship of *Vincent Massol* and *Paul Libbrecht*.
Glossary Application <http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/# HGlossaryApplicationbySarthakGupta>
Some more info:
Presently I have only solved one issue ( https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/BLOG-32)on *jira* but will try to solve more during the upcoming period for better understanding of the organisation.
I have already created a design page for the project http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/GlossaryApplication and will be updating it regularly as the project progresses.
Github user name : sarthak-sopho <https://github.com/sarthak-sopho> xwiki.org username : sgc_072 jira username : sgc_072 IRC nick : sgc_072 (also used sgc072 in past)
I am also planning to create a blog regarding my GSoC project in the near future (on one of the popular blogging sites).
I will try to remain active and chatty(*as said by Eduard Moraru* :P) on both IRC and the mailing list in the coming period.
I hope that this will be a good and enjoyable learning experience for me and with your support I will complete this project successfully with flying colours. :D
Thank You Sarthak Gupta
P.S : I am really sorry for the delay in introduction. Due to my end semester examination and travelling to my home, I was not able to introduce myself on time. Now I have summer vacations and a lot of a work to do. :P
