I don't know if you are interested, but one area I feel we could use a lot of help is with the Fuseki user interface. I was hoping a student would want to do a GSOC project for it but unfortunately we didn't get any applications for it. There are a good number of details in the JIRA [1]. In my opinion this would be a great place to get started with Jena, because it does not require in-depth knowledge of the the internals, but it does expose you do a wide surface area of the project.
But this being your initiative, feel free to jump in anywhere else that you would like. We are certainly around to assist! -Stephen [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-420 On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 4:09 PM, Pavan <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you.
