Hi, I'm an Computer Science Undergraduate(University of Moratuwa ,SriLanka) who would like to work in a apache Sling project for GSoc 09.. I've recently being doing project work on Apache Axis2 Engine developing Ruby Services deployment and message recieving using JRuby frame work (using OSgi to componentize as well ) ( https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon-components/jruby/ , https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon-components/schemaGenComponent , https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon-orbit/org.wso2.carbon.jrubylib/ ) and have an good understanding in Apache Axis2 n SOA .I have also worked in the area of WS Security (WS [Web Services] Policy derivation from SOAP messages n some OSGI component implementatons around that..) and have fair knowlege on WS security implementations as well.
I am pretty much interested in the project that you guys have proposed for GSoc 09 'Reimplementing (a subset of) Wikipedia on Apache Sling" and would like to be further enlightened on the scope and details of this project . I would like to hear any other ideas u might have (if it is possible in this stage..) especially like implementing specific script support (ie:- ruby using jruby framework..) as an implementaion of ScriptEngineFactory that Sling is proposed to have..I would very much appreciate if u guys could provide me with some feed-back regarding above aspects..Thnx in advance.
