Hi all,

I am an Undergraduate student and willing to participate for GSoC 2009. When going through the organizations list of GSoC 2009, I came across these XWiki projects which seem very interesting. From the listed Projects ideas[1] “XWiki Jabber, Google Talk, Skype Integration”, ”Calendar Application”, “Photo Album application” projects drew my interest, specially the first one.

Hi Tharindu, This is nice, it seems that you're the first one interested in the IM integration. Do you have any experience with Jabber and the XMPP protocol?

I started my studies on XWiki and going through the developer’s guide to get myself familiarized. Mean while I am trying to check out source codes and to build the project. It would be very helpful if I get some advices regarding this.

The build process is described at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building Since we're using Maven, once you learn the basics of it, you'll find that XWiki is pretty easy to build. If you encounter problems, feel free to ask questions on IRC or on the mailing list. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
