Getting Started

As a new student, you're probably looking for this section! Please read it carefully (and its linked resources) before asking for guidance or where to start. It applies to all proposed projects and it covers many topics asked by newcomers.

Being part of the XWiki community means knowing our rules and practices. As a GSOC student or candidate, you need to make sure you read and apply our guidelines. It also contains suggested way of getting to know the XWiki project and its community and also what you'd need to get up to speed with developing extensions or making changes to the XWiki product.

Please do not skip this part.

Student Application template

When applying for one of our projects, please provide this information about yourself and the project you choose in the application which you submit to Google.

Students can come up with their own ideas, but the ideas need to be proposed and discussed on the mailing list.

You can contribute to this list! We encourage would-be mentors to propose ideas or even to revive old ideas from the previous years, but, if you do, make sure to assign yourselves as mentors for the proposed project. Proposals without mentors will be discarded, as we have learned from previous years that they are counter-productive.

Students are also encouraged to propose projects, but make sure you first run your idea through the community (see the Contact Us section below) and that you find a mentor interested in the idea that you can assign to the project proposal.

We also recommend students interested in joining XWiki for GSoC Failed to execute the [velocity] macro.
