Re: [xwiki-devs] GSOC XWiki Android proposal WYSIWYG Editor

Hi Thomas, Sorry I could not respond to you earlier.I was traveling. Thank you for the suggestion.In stack overflow it was said that you have to checkout an old revision in the repository and the latest version was now not available.(The new one is deleted somehow. On purpose, maybe).I will check it tomorrow. I will make the proposal saying I will do the blog application and the architecture proposed above is just for structuring my work and to show what the *potential* is (specially to the Google) If Google does not select this project to be a good suggestion out of the slots they are offering for XWiki, I have a risk, so I will leave the proposed architecture and highlight the fact that this is just to show how the project will be directed in the future. I am not smart to implement all those platform modules in the give period.Some I don't have enough knowledge. But I had a brief idea on how to implement them.Like for example Cache module can be implemented using the last modified time stamp of the Object data(not HTML response's last modified date, as it sure is generated from a servlet) inside the HTML response that the RESTful APIs return. Now the issue is by doing a WYSYWIG editor I will mainly contributing a reusable UI element to XWiki Mobile Platform. As it looks like this will take some time. So it goes a little out of you vision for a XWiki mobile platform(i.e. I am going deep in to one direction in the platform instead of scratching the breadth of it). A) So my main contribution would be WYSYWIG and Android account content shareing ( I am thinking of using Android ContentProviders,from what I read, that's what Android platform is using to share its settings etc.). B) I like to do Persisting the blog document for later editing. (persistency parts I would add to the Persistence module.Its a Facade.Hmm... If there was JPA in android...) Remember password.Store it in the device (encrypted.Use SKE. Key would be also stored in the device anyway.). expect. So maybe I may not have enough time to do (B). What is your suggestion. I like to do the WYSYWIG. If I am to do it I will need to store the styles using HTML and inline CSS. It can be done while editing the doc or by at the end transforming Android native formating to HTML .(1 st option is easy but not optimal at memory usage.Since people see the functionality not our optimization's I vote for 1). If you are voting for a WYSIWYG I'll create mock ups and add to the proposal. To tell about the architecture, Domain Model Module: Almost all of the model parts are done in the Google Android Connector.So I have nothing much to do there. Can you suggest what is doable within time frame? Is it OK to propose those features even I am not sure whether I will have enough time? *As I am on study leave from Friday (I am skipping the university tomorrow ;-)), Shall I make a document to explain what the Android XWiki mobile main app suggestion is about. (One main app to hold every thing). I am not going to make it. I don't have enough experience to make a program with pluggable architecture in Android.Maybe some other developers interested may look at it. Will it be relevant to link it in melangae.* Is Google looking at other projects we have done? Or is it just for you.If it is needed I can upload code of my past projects.( not much, Servlet based web apps, Battle Tanks game with AI, JGame lib was used). Regards, Sasinda.
