He is how I see it: first of all as much code as possible should be shared with the "desktop" client and all that should be cut in as much peaces as possible. The first desktop client I have in mind here is XEclipse which is also a GSOC project this year so for shared parts would be great that you work with Jun. * model module: contains only the model (maybe it's already OK with https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/tree/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-rest/xwiki-platform-rest-model) * REST helper: list/generate/execute all the supported REST requests. Probably possible to share this with the desktop client. * high level tools based on REST request: document caching et synchronization, basically anything which is more that a direct REST request and not a widget. Maybe cut this module in two if we can find parts that can be shared with desktop client, will be impossible for caching and synchronization I guess or at least not entirely * widget module: contains android widgets that can be reused in other android applications (XWiki navigator, editors...) * the application: I proposed an android application which help editing and navigating an XWiki instance in http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Androidclient because that's what demonstrate most of the REST API but if you have other ideas to demonstrate on Android side no problem. Most of the widgets used in this application should be in the "widget module" if they are generic enough. We don't have yet the notion of friends/connexion that will comes with wiki3.0 project otherwise that would have been a good candidate for android contact synchronization. > > Thank you all, > > Best Regards, > Chamika Weerasinghe > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
