Hi Manish, Great to see someone interested in that project, I would love to have all wiki contact on my phone :)
We mostly discuss projects here so no need to contact me directly.

The same way many applications propose you to reuse the registered Google accounts. It must be as safe as possible (no clear password given to all application asking for it for example :)). 2) As both an example of how to use this authenticator and a very useful tool, implement a synchronization adapter which will be in charge of: ** putting all (or a configurable subset of them) the users from the wiki in your Android contacts ** (nice to have) all modifying those Android contacts and send the modifications to the wiki There is a lot of stuff already started but should not be taken as granted and at the end the result should be: * well documented (especially what an application author should do to use that connector properly but also for anyone that want to continue working on it) * have automated tests * easily built without something like Android Studio (probably graddle which seems to be the new standard in Android world. XWiki is mainly using Maven right now and Maven have Android plugins.), it will also need to be automatically built on ci.xwiki.org Of course the plan is to have it on Google Play Store at the end :) Feature wise this project is not very big (and it's already started) but the most important thing is to be as standard and integrated as possible and easy to use for applications that would want to manipulate an XWiki instance. Your proposal should details what you plan to do, what Android version your are targeting (should support version as old as possible since latest version are far from being as common as application authors would like them to be :)), etc. > Can I start working on this project or some other person is working on > this.

If you are talking about https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator yes nobody is planning to work on it any time soon as far as I know. Now for the "Can I start working on this project" it depends what you mean exactly. Anybody can work on it and do pull requests since it's an open source project but as for the GSOC we did not pass the student selection phase yet so it's mostly about writing proposals for now. > > Waiting for your replies. > > Regards, > Manish Bisht > Founder/CEO > Run4Offers.com > _______________________________________________ > 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
