Well it seems a lot of work to do, but I have some basic ideas about this project. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Jian,

It's great that this project drive so much attention :)

I will copy/paste what I told Manish since you are interested in the same project:

We mostly discuss projects here so no need to contact me directly.

What is in https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator is mostly a not finished crappy POC aiming at the following goal:

1) Provide a reusable standard Android authenticator that any application would use to communicate with an XWiki instance. The same way many applications propose you to reuse the registered Google accounts for example. It must be as safe as possible (no clear password given to all application asking for it for example :)).

2) As both an example of how to use this authenticator and a very useful tool, implement a synchronization adapter which will be in charge of: ** putting all (or a configurable subset of) the users from the wiki in your Android contacts and automatically update them ** (nice to have) allow modifying those Android contacts and send the modifications to the wiki

There is a lot of stuff already started but should not be taken as granted and at the end the result should be: * well documented (especially what an application author should do to use that connector properly but also for anyone that want to continue working on it) * have automated tests * easily built without something like Android Studio (probably graddle which seems to be the new standard in Android world. XWiki is mainly using Maven right now and Maven have Android plugins.), it will also need to be automatically built on http://ci.xwiki.org

Of course the plan is to have it on Google Play Store at the end :)

Feature wise this project is not very big (and it's already started) but the most important thing is to be as standard and integrated as possible and easy to use for applications that would want to manipulate an XWiki instance.

Your proposal should details what you plan to do, what Android version your are targeting (should support version as old as possible since latest version are far from being as common as application authors would like them to be :)), etc.

Dear developers: My name is Jian Guo. I have been studied Software Engineering for two years in Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST), China. I noticed that you have been accepted as mentor organization in GSoC 2016. I am familiar in Java and Android Development so I am really interested in the idea - Android XWiki authenticator and contact synchronization mentioned in your idea page. I would like to ask whether there are more details about this idea. What does the "Android account" refer to here? Looking forward to your reply. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I like UX stuff basically and that's why I am very interested in this project. I am trying to get familiarized with the translator, so that I can come up with better suggestions for improvements. I would be very much glad if you can enable Sinhalese support for me to experience the translator further.

I shall follow your instructions and report once done or if I have any problem. Thank you.

Best regards, Nanduni.

Hi Nanduni,

Always great to see someone so interested in working on XWiki :)

We did not really defined any scope for l10n proposal. For me the best is that you play a bit with it (maybe translate a few things, I can enable Sinhalese or some other language that would not be listed yet if you want) and see what are the main pain points for a translator. You also have a few ideas on

http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Improvel10nxwikiorg20... and http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/i10n.

Then you make a proposal with what you think you can achieve in the GSOC timeframe. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/i10n is a good place to put details of your proposal and then discuss it on the mailing list with the community.

Note: you can also ask quick questions on IRC (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/IRC/). My id on IRC is tmortagne (but no need to always as to me personally :)) there and my time zone is GMT+1 (France) and it's more or less the same for most of the core dev team.

Here are the main features right now:

1) A UI for contributor to translation keys with mainly ** a UI which display all keys filtered by language, resource and status (empty, outdated, etc) ** a search UI

This is the main target for the GSOC. The idea is to make easier to contribute.

2) UI and automated scheduler to update the keys and default translation on l10n.xwiki.org from the source (add new keys, update the english version if something change on git side, etc)

This is used mostly by the dev team but it could use some love, like making things more asynchronous (right now you start an import, get a timeout and hope that it will be done at some point on the background)

3) UI and API to export translation as usable resources (that's mainly)

This one is ok enough for now so unless you see some easy improvements on your side no need to concentrate too much on it.

Dear Sir,

I am *Nanduni Nimalsiri,* a third year undergraduate at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I had been going through the XWiki's GSoC projects ideas list since 20th February and I was very eagerly waiting for XWiki to get selected for the 2016 Google Summer of Code programme. I am very happy that XWiki got selected this time, because I had always been expecting to take part in a GSoC project with XWiki community.

Actually I am very interested in contributing to open source projects and I already have experiences in working with a variety of open source projects. I am very familiar in programming with Java, C, C#, JavaScript, PHP, XML, jQuery, web designing, cloud applications and many more which I have used for most of my university projects and other exterior projects. I am a quick learner and I am very confident that I would be able to catch up with new technologies very soon.

I am very familiar with JavaScript and UI stuff. So I found an interesting project in XWiki ideas list that matches with my interests. Out of the project ideas listed, I would like to contribute to the project *Improve l10n.xwiki.org < http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Improvel10nxwikiorg20... . *The project description includes : "*The student will have to study it and propose improvements, there is no definite list of things to do*". Can you please let me know the scope of this proposed project and how I should get started. Thank you.

Best regards, Nanduni.

Hi,

I am a GSoC 2016 aspirant. I am interested in the project *"**Convert existing tests to the latest technologies*". I was a GSoC student last year. I worked on a project "Automation Testing" where I used Selenium, Maven, JUnit etc in building a Java Based Testing Framework.

I would highly appreciate if I could get any pointers so that I could come up with a good proposal.

Thank You.
