Hi Upeksha, Thanks for your interest in possibly working on this ticket as your GSOC project.
On ISIS-371 you said: *I am Dimuthu Upeksha a Computer Engineering Undergraduate. This year I hope to participate GSoC 2013 and found Isis project interesting at the very beginning I watch the video[1] about isis. I'm good at java web development using frameworks like Spring,hibernate,Struts 2 and persistence, and Php development using Codeignitor and Kohana frameworks. As well I'm an android app developer. But I'm quite new to Isis and related technologies like RESTful API so if you can provide me information about how to start with Isis and other technologies, it will be a great help for me to move on. * It would be a good idea for you to use Isis to build a simple(ish) domain application, using Maven quickstart to get going, choosing a domain that might make sense to use from an Android phone or tablet. That'll give you a good idea of what Isis is all about. I then suggest you play around with the Restful Objects API from chrome using plugins such as json-view and RESTconsole. It would also be a good idea to download the Restful Objects spec from [2] and start reading it :-) If you do your work on github, then I can easily review your code and help you out if you get stuck. And if you end up doing this project, it'll also be a starting point for your development of an Android viewer. With respect to what it takes to build a viewer, it's easiest to break out into separate stories, and tackle them incrementally. On my blog [3] you can see a list of stories that I recently prepared. ~~~ Could I also ask that you subscribe to the dev@isis.apache.org mailing list (if you haven't already)? If this project is to be accepted, we require that any development is done "the Apache way", which means that it is open and through our mailing list. In the meantime, I'll also see who in the dev community might want to mentor you. It might well be me, but I don't want to spread myself too thinly, and there should, in any case, be a back-up mentor.
