GSoC 2013
Hi everyone,
I am a first time participant for GSoC this year and am interested in
working with the Airavata project. I am currently getting familiar with
Airavata and XBaya and I noticed a proposal to create a web-based user
interface replacing/in-addition-to XBaya in this link:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-798.
While I understand it is a large project (or several projects as far as
GSoC is concerned) I would like to contribute to this development.
I am currently an undergraduate in University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka-
Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I have had experience with
Web Development in PHP, DartLang and also several CMSs. Although, I must
say that I am a complete novice to FLEX which is used to develop XBaya. And
I would like to learn as I go.
Could you please help me to get started with it, and point me in the right
direction, as I am a beginner?
Thanks in advance.

Thats nice. We will be happy to help guide as much as we can, but I also keep exploring other options so if you realize this might be a tough road for you, you will have backups.

Thanks Suresh,
I will give it a try as you have mentioned and see. I understood after
going through the discussions that it seems to be challenging work for a
beginner. But I am willing to give it a try.

Hi Damith,
The JIRA only mentioned FLEX to indicate there are other implementations. But XBaya is currently in Java and this task is to change it to java script based.
Frankly, this year Airavata GSoC projects will be very tough on beginners, since we are expecting lot of co-ordination among all projects and also it takes lot of diving into the code and understand what is happening. I would encourage you to engage with the mailing list and learn through, but I would advice to pick a smaller project to start with for this year. Unfortunately all projects in Airavata this year have high barrier to entry.
