Hello friends, I wanted to revisit this thread from a while back. One of the things we were supposed to do (as GSOC students) was to fix an issue listed on JIRA. Coming from a run-time development background, I was very much struggling with this. I've been trying to get at this but have been for the most part unsuccessful. I finally tried, though as a last resort (which was probably a bad idea and I should have asked sooner instead of continually struggling with it myself with no communication, sorry--definitely learning from this), the IRC. Though @cjd was super helpful, and helping me a lot, I was still unable to build xwiki-platform and xwiki-rendering (though I was able to build xwiki-commons).
Since I could not do this, I tried to find a really simple JIRA issue that could hopefully be changed without building. Out of all the available issues, I though this seems to be the best suited [1] since it was mainly just deleting text and adding a class (probably the most relevant as well since my project is mostly front-end) so I did it and sent a pull request. Though as @cjd advised me, even this may have not been the best idea since it is on the front end and would probably need a lot more discussing--since I could have made an error in my deletions. In short, I apologize that I am not able to contribute much more to the JIRA issues, it was definitely a learning experience. I take from this the importance of communication and to not be afraid to ask the community since they are super helpful. I will continue to work with this as I can in the coming weeks. As a side note, my school ends on June 8 and finals season is coming so while I will try my best to not let that get in the way of xwiki, i am afraid at the chance that it will. So I guess, in the spirit of communicating, I thought I would let the community know. I apologize for the inconvenience and my shortcomings and I hope that the community can continue to help me!
