Hello students, As you probably already know, we are almost at the middle of the community bonding period [1]. From the previous mail [2] and XWiki's GSoC page [3], you also know that this is the time where you learn about XWiki's development processes, code and community and, to better understand the code, you must fix at least one jira issue related directly or indirectly to your project. This is in no way a radio silence period, quite the contrary. In other words, you need to: 1. Answer this mail :) 2. Create a Design page [4] regarding your project 3. Start idling on the IRC channel 4. Start chatting on the mailing list and on IRC about your project and other aspects of XWiki that you don't yet understand 5. Get your hands dirty by diving into the code and fixing at least one Jira issue (2 more weeks left) 6. Talk about your project What we want from you with this mail is to see where you stand with regard to what has been written above. We want to know what you don`t understand about XWiki, what issue you are planning to undertake, what you want to start with, etc. It helps you more to start saying incorrect things and fixing them early instead of staying quiet and making a big bad choice towards the end. And a last thing, please remember that one-to-one conversations with your mentor are not encouraged and are actually harmful to the success of your project. Talk to the community, ask for help early and life will be sweeter :) Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012 [2] http://markmail.org/thread/u6jhsqwxn6uitcjo [3] http://gsoc.xwiki.org [4] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/WebHome

Savitha, if you had the time for a break (writing into a wiki page is a break compared to exams!) and open a page with a first schedule, we could have even read this answer before ;-). paul Le 4 mai 2012 à 18:45, savitha sundaramurthy a écrit : full wrote: community code one regard understand your your sweeter _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

Savitha, actually, I'd suggest starting with the project-timeline (should it be called the "process page" ?) The design page will evolve in all cases: - community feedback - experiments' attempts - new underpinnings findings - new application desire - important documentations (e.g. how to configure your schema) Among the big questions of the process are how it will be made available and exploitable by others and how to make sure it can have a happy end of becoming a part of the daily life of xwiki servers around the world. I think the sections "basic implementation steps" and "basic prototype" are probably better on the process page. paul Le 9 mai 2012 à 07:59, savitha sundaramurthy a écrit : design to wrote: that least and one to early _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
