Hi Faryshta, I'm glad you found one of our GSOC projects interesting.
The 'Application template' is supposed to be used when the student application period opens (26 March) and should be submitted to http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/xwiki Also the application should detail more the project plan, architecture, approach, etc. In order for you to do that, you should familiarize yourself with XWiki and its skinning capabilities. So you should first download XWiki Enterprise http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DownloadCode/DownloadFeedback?downloadLink=http://download.forge.objectweb.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.0-milestone-1.zip&projectType=Milestone&projectVersion=4.0-milestone-1&projectID=1 and play a bit with it to understand the main concepts: wikis, spaces, pages/documents, classes, attachments, objects and the relation between them. Next you should read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and set up your work environment. Then you should look for a small JIRA issue http://jira.xwiki.org and try to fix it (make a pull request on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform ). Regarding the Skin documentation, you should read: - Current supported skins http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Skins - Also this project is close to the 'Mobile Skin/Dashboard for XWiki Enterprise' project proposal http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/MobileSkin2012 so you could play with that skin too - Read: - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/SkinExtensionsTutorial After playing a bit with the skin mechanisms you should think about a way to integrate or create a new skin based on your selected framework. Make a plan with milestones and submit your proposal. Hope this helped, Caty On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 21:13, Faryshta <[email protected]> wrote: > Contact information > > - Angel Guevara > - [email protected] > - IRC channel #xwiki nickname faryshta > > Project > > - *Project name* Responsive skin based on > Foundation< > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/WebHome#HResponsiveskinbasedonFoundation > > > - *Description* Creating an interactive skin for xwiki. > - *Other projects* Integrating bootstraps, lesscss or another front end > library. > - *Why this project?* The xwiki front end is very unpolished, heavy to > modify and personalize with several items to be redefined.
