[xwiki-users] [GSOC] XWiki is applying for GSoC 2013. Proposals and mentors needed!
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/#HProposedProjects282...

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: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/XCLAMSePubExport - XCLAMS Federated Servers: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/XCLAMSFederated 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? paul On 18 mars 2013, at 14:15, Eduard Moraru wrote:

dear Eduard and all, I would like to hear a few statistics about the access to the GSoC project pages by students so that we are guided a bit more to write the proposals. Could someone with rights to read the analytics data about this page see what are the top referring pages? And what were the ones that did end up on a project page and those that ended up go away fast? thanks in advance Paul On 18 mars 2013, at 14:15, Eduard Moraru wrote:

Dear XWiki community, having discussed with Ludovic, I now can say that we made the projects more generic so that it applies for all XWikis, for the ePub-exporter, and for all Xclams, for the federation. Can I count on the fact that it is acceptable for XWiki community? thanks in advance Paul New URLs: - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ePubExport - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/XCLAMSFederated On 19 mars 2013, at 15:25, Paul Libbrecht wrote:
