Summer of Code is upon us
Hi,
I've just added a Sling-based proposal for the Google Summer of Code
2009 at http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2009#sling-wikipedia
More project ideas and mentors are welcome!

Another comment : I'm agree, it is not something for the Summer of code, it
was a bad idea !

No problem it was just to be aware of the current situation.

Fine! As I am a newcomer in Sling/OSGi, i am here to collaborate and learn
from all of other participants.

I am interested to work on that even if it will take a long time to get a
nice result. We can expect that others will be interesting to contribute.
Futhermore, it is certainly possible to start with a very simple version and
add more and more features.
Can we based this work on the following proposal [1] ?
What about the UI framework to use ? A JCR Explorer will require advanced
UI widgets and I'm wondering which framework will be the more appropriate,
Dojo ? Gwt ? Extjs ? .... ? :-(
I have a prototype with Extjs but It is certainly not compatible with the
ASF license.

Yes, sorry I didn't reply to your proposal. Totally swamped at the
moment, probably won't find time to really look at it before a week or
so.
Anyway. such a project will only be assigned to a GSoC student if a
committer proposes it and signs up as a mentor at [1]. For now it's
just an idea floating around.

Ok - a good JCR explorer is something that many of us are looking
forward to, and it's not a trivial task, and Sling's OSGi plugins open
some very interesting possibilities.
So it's certainly possible for several people to collaborate on that
anyway. But someone has to lead I guess, and at the moment it seems
like none of the Sling contributors have enough free cycles for that.

I proposed a prototype for the JCR browser sometime ago on the mailing list
but just to know, will it be a project assigned to a GSoc student? In that
case I'll just move my effort on some other area of Sling... Even if at that
time I have to finish some other project that is consuming lots of my spare
time.

Sure - a JCR browser with OSGi-based plugins selected based on node
type/path/properties/phase of moon (well maybe not) sounds cool.

Also good of course.
Feel free to suggest a project at [1] and step in as a mentor, all
committers are welcome to do that!

What about a JCR browser and some admin tools for Sling (user/group
management, ...) ?
What about a set of small "classic" web apps like forum, news management,
... ?
