Hi,
I'm a BSc Computer Science student studying at LUMS, Pakistan and I
wish to contribute to XWiki project through GSoC 2010.
I'm familiar with OpenOffice integration with wikis, I did a
university project on a similar idea for MediaWiki, but I feel that I
can use the same techniques to export wiki content to Word/PDF/HTML
using OpenOffice components.
I've recently familiarized myself with XWiki and it's powerful
architecture excites me. I can't wait to start working on it. I would
like to know what do the mentors (Asiri Rathnayake and Florin
Ciubotaru) expect from this project, any limitations/bottlenecks they
suspect that might need to be taken care of and so on.
I've not worked on open-source projects before, but I've worked on
many web-based and software projects with sufficient experience of
Java programming.
Waiting for an opportunity to get on board,
Amer Tahir

Great!
You should familiarize with following topics: (rough idea)
- Building XWiki from source (source tree, svn, maven etc.)
- Get familiar with XWiki's component based architecture (there is a
tutorial on writing a HelloWorld XWiki component).
- Get familiar with XWiki OfficeImporter application and its internals.
- Check out jodconverter's capabilities on HTML -> (Other Formats)
conversion.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on this list :)
