Hi, Eduard Very grateful for your advice :).

I have written some small documents https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator/tree/master/document and took screenshots of the app in the github repository https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator/blob/master/document/_images/screenshot.gif . And also in jenkins I have build a small version of the android-authenticator http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/Contrib%20-%20Android%20Authenticator/ws/app/build/outputs/apk/ , and the third-party android app for testing authenticator here http://ci.xwiki.org/view/All/job/Contrib%20-%20Android%20Authenticator/ws/authdemo/build/outputs/apk/ . If you have the time, you can install the two apps and help me test the design and logic :). Maybe in the next week I can release the first version of the android-authenticator. now there are still some issues in jira for me to deal with. http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/ANDAUTH-8?jql=project%20%3D%20ANDAUTH%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC , like using okhttp replacing my custom library, the update logic of android app new version, the security issue and the photo upload. > > As for tips and things that you need to do in the following (coding) > period, please make sure you read carefully the these 2 dedicated sections > [1][2] in the student guidelines [3], particularly: > * keeping your progress report page up to date [4] > * creating your design page as instructed [5] > * making your contribution to the XWiki project (pull request) > Thank you for your tips which are what I need :) . But actually I don't know where and how to make my project document. Should I update my progress report in this page http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Androidcontact2016 ? And create (and link) pages inside the GoogleSummerOfCode space for more details of the project ? Maybe I can have a try? :) > > Working on your project is great, but it`s only half of the work that GSoC > involves.

Anyway I will try my best to be present on IRC while I am working on my project :) . And in the next week, as I finish my first version, I can learn something more, fixing the existing JIRA issues and create some pull requsts. And also maybe I can write a complete android app combining the android-authenticator project and android-client project( https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client). or maybe I could try to write a cross platform mobile application(IOS, android) using PhoneGap/Cordova. I'll keep working hard :). However, it seems that our web pages itself can support a variety of mobile platforms (ios/android). I do not know whether the development of mobile apps has more value and significance? Is it necessary?
