Hi devs,
My name is Jack Zhang, and I’m enrolled to begin my undergraduate studies this September
at Harvard University, where I intend to study Computer Science. I am currently taking a
gap year (time off from academics between secondary school and university), and at the
moment I spend my days working full-time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and pretty much the
rest of my free time doing web development at betterworldcollective.com
<http://betterworldcollective.com/>.
I’ve been wanting to get involved with open source for quite a while now, and I’d love to
spend time this summer contributing to XWiki! I am comfortable with HTML, CSS3/Bootstrap,
JavaScript/jQuery, MySQL, and PHP. I'm also acquainted with Java OOP. I am
particularly excited about two projects:
1. Creating the Blame View UI
2. Glossary Application
I understand that both of these projects are still somewhat open-ended, so I look forward
to delving into XWiki’s use cases and exploring Apps Within Minutes to better formulate
some details on the implementation and UI of either one of these projects. That being
said, any pointers or suggestions are certainly welcome!
See you all on JIRA :)

Hi, Jack, and welcome to XWiki!
It`s great to see your interest and enthusiasm!
As far as I can see, both projects you are interested in are mainly
UI/application projects, so the existing student guidelines [1] should be a
good starting point for you. Basically you need to get acquainted with
developing XWiki applications and packaging/publishing them as extensions.
This means installing XWiki and using it a bit, understanding the data
model, dev practices, web API (velocity, javascript, etc.)... that kind of
stuff.
Also, remember that you will need to have at least one good (easy/medium)
Pull Request for an existing (or even new) jira issue before the student
application period ends.
Please feel free to ask us specific project-related of XWiki related
questions that you come across while going through the online
documentation, learning process and even jira issue fixing.
We`re here to help along the way.
Thanks,
Eduard
