We will be glad to accept your contributions. Even if your code is not ready for integration, you can submit it, and we'll take care of the cleanup. But the more mature the code is when submitting it, the better it is for our development team, and the faster it will be integrated, so please find the right balance that suits you. > Short list of features: > - unzip an attached file and attach the contained files to a document > (i.e. the photo album) > - resize images to a maximum width and height maintaining the aspect > ratio (if you like already while unzipping) - only jpg until now.

(Maybe I could > create a small example page if you are interested) Unfortunately we ended up not selecting any student for this project, although we had several proposals for it, so it won't affect the evaluation phase in any way; please feel free to submit any code. We have a student that wants to contribute on this project outside GSoC (still deciding between this and another project), so this will help him, if he decides to work on the photo album. > I hope to hear from you wether you are interested and if so, what > parts you are interested in. > Also don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or need further > information. We welcome feedback about your usage of XWiki, what you like and what you dislike, so that we can improve it to meet the users' expectations. Since you're using it for quite a long time, I suppose you have enough to talk about.
