Hi Vassilis,
Very nice! Of course we'll have to stick to the GSoC rules the selecting
the applicants.
If they are interested they might start off by reading the FAQ at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page
to understand what the expectations are and what the goals and criteria
are.
Cheers,
Till

I agree these are all great ideas. I think the XMark Benchmark would
be my
first preference.
I know some UCR students that may be interested in applying for these
as
GSOC.

I wanted to get the ball started, so we could be ready for student
interaction. A few ideas are already in JIRA. I will add the missing
ones.
Thanks,

I agree, those all should be fun projects and helpful projects.
The next steps for us be to add those projects to JIRA with a GSoC
tag,
as
that's where people will look for it.
I think that we're still a little early, as the mentoring
organizations
will only be finalized in February.
But I think that it's a safe bet that the ASF will be in and it's
good to
do the project descriptions now.
Cheers,

Those all sound like excellent projects!
UCI is also running a summer intern program for selected foreign
undergrads.
That might be another source of help, especially for something like
the
first project.

Google Summer of Code (GSOC) is just around the corner and I
wanted to
suggest a few ideas.
- XMark Benchmark - VXQuery still needs more XQuery coverage to
run all
the
XMark queries.
- HDFS Support - Many organizations are saving data to HDFS and it
would
be
great if VXQuery could read this data. In addition, the VXQuery
cluster
could even be managed by Yarn.
- XML Indexing - Previous work was done on indexing XML, but the
project
was never fully integrated into VXQuery. It would be nice to fully
integrate XML indexing into VXQuery.
What are the next steps for us (VXQuery) to participate in GSOC?
