Hello fellow XWiki community members, This year XWiki is planning to participate once more at Google's Summer of Code [1]. The organization registration period has already started today (18th of March) and the deadline is the 29th of March [2] (almost 2 weeks). 1. We need to provide by then a list of proposals and assign mentors for the students that are going to implement them. I would like to ask everybody that wants to participate as a mentor from the XWiki organization to review the proposals [3] list (we currently have 12 proposals) and add as many interesting proposals as possible. The proposals can be either new, or they can be revived from previous year proposals. Just navigate to the previous years, find the proposal you like and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project, update it's description if needed and wait for the student applications to start pouring :) 2. We also need to submit the actual application [4] of the XWiki organization to participate to the GSoC 2013 project so I would also like to ask you to review it so that we have a better chance of being selected into the program. 3. If you feel that you would like to help on improving XWiki's GSoC guides and application forms, please find tips for students [5] on XWiki's GSoC page, the student application form [6] and the lessons learned [7] from previous years participations. Thanks for your help, Eduard ---------- [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013 [2] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2013 [3] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HProposedProjects28… [4] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/OrganizationApplicat… [5] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/WebHome#HSuggestedwa… [6] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/student+application+… [7] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/LessonsLearned _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hello all, I am looking forward to this year's GSoC. Especially of interest to the XWiki derivatives based on xclams, but certainly also applicable to other xwikis, I have added two project proposals: - XCLAMS ePub Publisher: - XCLAMS Federated Servers: Comments are most welcome. I've noted that ActivityStream 2.0 is one of the proposed project. Could that be based on big NoSQL databases such as CouchDB?
