New subject: [xwiki-dev] Reply to "Hello XWiki Summer-of-Coders 2007" by Vincent Massol

Hello,
My name is Evelina Slatineanu and I participate at GSoC for XWiki - Ajax Interface
Improvements, mentored by Mr. Sergiu Dumitriu.

1. The address I use frequently is: Evelyne24(a)gmail.com

2. Short introduction: 
I am a 2nd year student at Computer Science Faculty in Iasi, Romania.
I chose to participate to GSoC this summer because I am interested in Open Source
community and I consider it to be a very good opportunity for people to collaborate and
let other people benefit from their work and their experience.
I choose XWiki because I think it has great potential and I want to take part in the
development of a software that has such a promising future. More over, I was told that
XWiki community is very reliable and supportive and as I am a beginner in this field, I
would very much appreciate that.

3. Project milestones:
- I want to completely understand and familiarize with XWiki architectural pattern (MVC)
and coding rules
- I want to be able to learn how XWiki classes work, its layout and structure
- I already picked 3 issues on Jira and by the end of May I want to solve them all as good
as possible, to prove that I am ready to move on to the next step of coding
- I want to start writing the code, under the guidance of my mentor
- I want to finish this project as good as possible by the end of August (including a lot
of testing to make sure everything is in order)
And, of course, I would very much like to become a "permanent" member of XWiki
community and a happy contributor to Open Source software and to participate to the next
editions of GSoC.

That is all, I guess...
Happy coding for all! :)
