Re: GSoC project ideas wanted
Posted by Irina Arkhipets <ir...@gmail.com>.
Hi All,
I've started to create the issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20OPENMEETINGS%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20gsoc2013
Please fill free to add your own issues or add your comments to mine.
I am also going to add the following in the nearest future (just want to
discuss some details with Maxim first):
- faster screen sharing;
- wicketstuff-poi for HTML5 document sharing (otherwise we should use
images somehow)
- Apache compatible wysiwyg editor Wicket component (to be used in
chat/invitations/messages)
- Full screen mode for screen sharing (we already done some work in this
direction, so probably we'll just check our sources in and don't need any
additional work)
Best regards,
Irina.
