Hi Rauf, First of all the discussions related to GSOC projects is best if they are public: other people could be interested in the subject, multiple mentors/community could respond to your questions.

IMO could be the first objective to integrate the existing Polls application as a widget/gadget that could be integrated inside our Dashboard. See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Dashboard+Macro in order to find out more about how to use gadgets inside XWiki. The only difference between the Dashboard and the Polls application is that the Dashboard is already bundled with XWiki Enterprise, while the Polls Application is just a community extension. So the first step in reusing that code would be to analyze how much work would be to integrate the Polls code into the official bundled code, if it's the right solution, how much work is needed to combine Polls with AppWithinMinutes / Dashboard. 3. To create Survey, we would be using the available application: > http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/App+Within+Minutes+Application. > The demos show how to create applications with this extension. > > The idea behind AppWithinMinutes is to empower users to easily create applications. I think Ludovic wants to give users the ability to easily create Polls/Surveys, spread them (maybe by having them as gadget inside the Main.Dashboard) and analyze them at the end of the poll. > The project requirements include to modify the presentation (GUI) for this > survey and to display the survey results. > > Please correct me if there is some misunderstanding. > Should be correct.
