[xwiki-devs] About GSoc 2009 project Ideas for XWiki...
Hi, I'm an Computer Science Undergraduate who is currently undergoing training and engaged n the field of Open Source SOA products n development. I've recently done project work in the area of WS Security (WS [Web Services] Policy derivation from SOAP messages n some OSGI component implementatons around that..) and have fair knowlege on WS security implementations. Also also have an good understanding in Apache Axis2 Engine and been working on Apache Axis2 Engine developing Ruby Services deployment using JRuby frame work.. I would pretty much like to participate in a XWiki GSoc project for 2009 as i see this as a great opportunity to expand my understanding in this field and as a great learning experience. I had a look at previous 2008 xWiki Gsoc Ideas,Devs list issues and some jiras and i gained interest in doing some work in xWiki Core. I was particularly interested in ideas such as SAML Authentication (Reported @ xWiki JIRA by Sergiu Dumitriu<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-402>) , Support for AJAX Calls (Reported @ xWiki JIRA by Sergiu Dumitriu <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-641> ) , Xwiki Web Services integration , and would like to know whether aforementioned work (/proposals) are still available. However i would also be open to any other ideas that will be put forward by XWiki org and would like to hear about that too. BTW i still don't know whether this is too early or not to ask for project ideas n stuff ,but am certainly hoping to work with you guys if all goes well .I'm still new to XWiki engine and it's aspects but i am willing to, learn and have a good run on xWiki. Your feedback regarding this is very much appreciated..Thnx in advance . Regards, Udayanga Shaminda Wickramasinghe

SAML authentication is not a priority anymore, since we (will) have OpenID support, and this seems to be the more successful and useful SSO mechanism. Support for AJAX calls is not profitable at the moment, since it will either become deprecated soon after completion, or it requires prior work for transforming parts of the current xwiki-core into proper components. The Web Services integration is interesting, and might complement our new REST and GWT APIs. This will need a more detailed discussion on the devs list, to see if it is indeed something we want and need.

Hi, Thnx Sergiu for the thoughts you have rendered for my Gsoc ideas for xWiki .I too think web services integration would be very interesting and even be very beneficial in the long run . However i'am trying to go through some ways and means ,xWiki can inergrate(or is being integrated) with webservices in the current context .All the same i am sincerely anticipating that some positive discussion will take place in this regard as well..Also I will appreciate if u guys could provide the links for proposed ideas when they are finalized..Thnx in advance Regards, Udayanga Wickramasinghe
