So I am planning to work on this project. I love to contribute on projects like this. Also have a great mentor for this project.
In this way I am planning to start. Create a new android application on the Android Studio. Then on the home screen it will ask users for the XWiki Account Details to login or if the user doesn't have the account their is an option for the registration also. And after the successful login the account will be added to the accounts section in android. On the next step it will ask you to add/sync XWiki Users in your contacts (I am making one modification that user can skip this step also). ** (nice to have) all modifying those Android contacts and send the modifications to the wiki Can you please explain what does this mean. also I think we will get some details to retrieve the user details that are stored on xwiki servers and allowed to modify if new account is created. I am making this whole project on android studio and think of to target android versions > 5.0 (Is it ok or we have to target the < 5.0 devices also). Also to make the UI more attractive I am planning to implement the material design on the Application and one animated Xwiki welcome sceen that will be started on the starting of the Application. Waiting for the suggestions on my plans.
