Hi, I'm an Computer Science Undergraduate who is currently undergoing training and engaged n the field of Open Source SOA products n development. I've recently done project work in the area of WS Security (WS [Web Services] Policy derivation from SOAP messages n some OSGI component implementatons around that..) and have fair knowlege on WS security implementations. Also also have an good understanding in Apache Axis2 Engine and been working on Apache Axis2 Engine developing Ruby Services deployment using JRuby frame work..
I would pretty much like to participate in a XWiki GSoc project for 2009 as i see this as a great opportunity to expand my understanding in this field and as a great learning experience. I had a look at previous 2008 xWiki Gsoc Ideas,Devs list issues and some jiras and i gained interest in doing some work in xWiki Core. I was particularly interested in ideas such as SAML Authentication (Reported @ xWiki JIRA by Sergiu Dumitriu<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-402>) , Support for AJAX Calls (Reported @ xWiki JIRA by Sergiu Dumitriu <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-641> ) , Xwiki Web Services integration , and would like to know whether aforementioned work (/proposals) are still available. However i would also be open to any other ideas that will be put forward by XWiki org and would like to hear about that too. BTW i still don't know whether this is too early or not to ask for project ideas n stuff ,but am certainly hoping to work with you guys if all goes well .I'm still new to XWiki engine and it's aspects but i am willing to, learn and have a good run on xWiki. Your feedback regarding this is very much appreciated..Thnx in advance .
