Martin Desruisseaux commented on SIS-350:
-----------------------------------------
{color:blue}Adapted from email thread: {color} For Google Summer of Code 2017
(GSoC), a next step would be to draft a proposal as described in the [student
guide|http://write.flossmanuals.net/gsocstudentguide/writing-a-proposal/].
Students can use any tools at their choice (GoogleDoc, Markdown in a Git
repository, OpenOffice, _etc._) and share the link either publicly on this
mailing list if you are fine with public review, or privately with the mentor
otherwise. We may need many cycles for improving the draft.
The proposal document should list the issues to resolve in this GSoC. Below are
some examples, but need student's review for evaluating if they are valid
issues, and if there is any other issues to resolve:
* Change the Maven project configuration for targeting Android.
* Either get JAXB support, or replace JAXB by something equivalent.
* Replace Java2D dependencies by equivalent classes from Android SDK.
* Port the EPSG dataset to the database engine supported by Android (SQLite).
* Provide a JDBC implementation sufficient for allowing SIS to use EPSG on
SQLite.
The proposal document should give more details for each issue and explain how
they could be solved. Note that Apache SIS does not yet have a graphical user
interface, so all above work is (for now) purely computational.
Finally, I strongly recommend that the student also submit other proposals for
different projects. Each GSoC student can submit up to 5 proposals. We always
receive much more proposals than the number of slots allocated by Google or the
number of mentors available, so putting all expectations on a single proposal
would be risky.

> Create an Apache SIS branch for Android. This will require the following work:
> * Simulate the JAXB framework if possible, or remove SIS usage of JAXB on the
> Android branch. JAXB is extensively used in the metadata modules, but some
> usages are found also in other modules.
> * Remove Java2D dependency. This work has already been anticipated by keeping
> Java2D dependency in separated classes or packages. When a replacement is
> available on the Android platform, the Java2D type should be substituted by
> the replacement. This should include in particular
> {{java.awt.geom.AffineTransform}}.
