GSOC 2012

Hi,

I'm a  computer science & engineering undergraduate from University of
Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I like to participate GSOC 2012 for Axis 2 project.  So
are there any any project ideas and mentors for GSOC 2012? From where can I
get more details?

Regards,
Prabhath

Now I have a good idea about the scope of this project idea. So I will
be focusing it as a GSoC proposal. Currently I am familiarizing with  the
Axis 2 project. So I am hoping to do some contributions to the project soon
as you suggested.

Thank you

This idea is important improvement for Axis2. Personally I believe this
issue has enough tasks to be a good GSoC proposal in summary you can find
following tasks under this project.

1.) Previously Andreas started this migration task but found there is no
enough test coverage in Axis2 for XMLSchema related features [1]. First
it's required to identify XMLSchema1 usage in Axis2 and have to write unit
tests to cover those features.

2.) After completing 1.) it is possible to start actual migration of
XMLSchema1  API to XMLSchema2 API.

    a.) You can find XMLSchema 2 documentation here [3]. You may get some
helps from them through ws-dev list.
    b.) Sometimes back another WS project called Woden has moved to
XMLSchem2 from XMLSchema1. It may useful to refer their migration codes too
[4] .


3.) Write new test cases or refine existing test cases, update
documentation etc.

Hi,
First of all thank you for the response. I am interested in "Upgrade Axis2
to use xmlschema2 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5239>". So
will this idea meet GSoc standards?  (I mean complexity, time needed,
etc.). I alos agree to your final point. So I'll  start working by fixing
some simple issues.

Regars,
Prabhath Suminda

Re: GSOC 2012

This is a generic answer for the benefit of those who wish to do Axis2
related GSoC projects. Axis2 project highly welcome your GSoC efforts and
we have mentors and people to help/guide you. Following are some of the
tips that can be helpful to find a idea for your project.

1.) It always a good idea and get great attention if you can propose a new
feature or modification yourself. By referring user/dev list, JIRA project
[1], studding other frameworks, reading related specs you can  find some
new ideas. Once you have a new idea don't hesitate to discuss it on this
list so that you can collect more inputs from community.

2.) I just crated a JIRA filter here[1]  with some GSoC ideas and will add
more ideas. You can pick up one of them and start a discussion here to get
more details and helps.

3.) If non of above tips fix with you then go through the JIRA[1] and
select group of issues that you like to work on. If you pick enough issues
we can make them into a GSoC project. Number of issue for a project may
vary depend on nature and scope of your selected issue.

With my previous experience this is the best time to start your GSoC
projects. You can start your work by fixing some simple issues [1] ,
participating to discussions on dev list and providing answers to user
questions on user list etc. Since community play significant role in GSoC
above actions definitely add some plus point to your account and helpful to
get selected your proposal.
