Hi Thomas,
Sorry for not being able to participate in the community bonding yet.
I am very busy with exams these days. Hope you noticed me in the proposal
that I am unable to actively participate until 10 th May. 1 exam got
postponed. I will start after 12th May and document the project details. I
made the proposal publicly available just for now. Hope 12 to 21 is enough
to catch up since XWiki mobile project is a bit separate from XWiki.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Hello friends,
Here is the design page for Responsive Skin implementation [1]. Included:
Goal, Approach, Tentative Timeline, Mock Ups.
Early questions for the current design:
1. Specific support for non-javascript capable browser? I feel like it is
not necessarily since browser which can not support javascript will fall
back by itself. More over, it would not be capable of carrying out
media-queries required for responsive design and some XWIKI features (such
as live tables?) anyway.
2. Is the community ok with trying to use "true (html)" drop downs / forms
in order to fully utilize functions built in to phone/tablets [3]?
3. Pressable Links: should they be bigger on mobile to help facilitate
touching on words, or would it be better to use a "background" to create a
"touch area"? Both are in the phone mock up [3]. Former demonstrated in
quicklinks, latter in the "Spaces" section.

Hello students,
As you probably already know, we are almost at the middle of the
community
bonding period [1].
From the previous mail [2] and XWiki's GSoC page [3], you also know that
this is the time where you learn about XWiki's development processes,
code
and community and, to better understand the code,
you must fix at least
one
jira issue related directly or indirectly to your
project.
This is in no way a radio silence period, quite the contrary.
In other words, you need to:
1. Answer this mail :)
2. Create a Design page [4] regarding your project
3. Start idling on the IRC channel
4. Start chatting on the mailing list and on IRC about your project and
other aspects of XWiki that you don't yet understand
5. Get your hands dirty by diving into the code and fixing at least one
Jira issue (2 more weeks left)
6. Talk about your project
What we want from you with this mail is to see where you stand with
regard
to what has been written above. We want to know
what you don`t understand
about XWiki, what issue you are planning to undertake, what you want to
start with, etc.
It helps you more to start saying incorrect things and fixing them early
instead of staying quiet and making a big bad choice towards the end.
And a last thing, please remember that one-to-one conversations with your
mentor are not encouraged and are actually harmful to the success of your
project. Talk to the community, ask for help early and life will be
sweeter
:)
Thanks,
Eduard
