Why i was interested in these ideas is because i wanted to get familiar with the XWiki core. I had doubts on integration issues that would come along these two projects, i guess i was correct :) I feel reluctant to work on XEclipse since i had worked on it before and i think someone new should be doing it. So this leaves me with the JCR storage related topic, which i think would give me a good opportunity to understand the xwiki platform. I hope 'JCR storage & QueryPlugin' related idea does not fall into the same category as above :) (Please let me know if it does / not) So, see you people with a nice proposal in two weeks :) Thanks. - Asiri ps : I'll start working on fixing http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BuildingInEclipse from tomorrow. > In essence this means that almost any line written will need to be > discussed at length, validated, understood by existing committers.
