Very nice video !

Here is what seems to be missing before a first release IMO:
* I can see an object viewer but no class viewer
* the UI does not allow to edit (except for attachment and comments)
but does the library allows it ?
* did you had time to implement some caching ? even if you don't have
edition yet would still be nice to cache some pages and check behind
the scene if the current page changed on server to avoid
re-downloading it when you go to page1 then page2 and then go back to
page 1.
* is https supported ?
* in the setup I see you have only the host/port as server
information, as we discussed some time ago I think it would be better
to let the user put the full base URL (http://host:port/xwiki/rest/)
of the REST service (but you can have a wysard to help generate the
URL), that's because some part of the URL can be changed by
configuration and it also answer my previous question about https I
guess
* is it too big for the GSOC to have the server setting part as an
Android account ? would be super nice since it would allow several
application to use the same account to access a wiki. At worst if you
looked at it it would be nice to put what you found some far in a
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ page and same note for any
other TODO you have in mind that you could not finish

Some suggestions for the demo:
* would probably be nicer to do the demo with a well known wiki like
xwiki.org or myxwiki.org

Did not had much time to look at the code of the library yet but will
sure do next Monday.

I can see on http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/org/xwiki/android/ that
you have xwiki-rest-gson-model, xwiki-rest-model-simplexml and
xwiki-rest-simplexml-model so which one is teh right form ? As I told
you already I think you should have

- xwiki-rest-model
-- xwiki-rest-model-gson
-- xwiki-rest-model-simplexml
