CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good morning,
hope you had a nice weekend or a nice PHP conference! Later this day, the application period for mentoring organisations to the Google Summer of Code 2008 will start. The deadline is march 12. I'd be happy to see more people using ezc and in special contributing to them. The GSoC does not only sponsor one or more students working two and a half months for the project. It may also be a good opportunity to increase visibility. Some thousand students around the world will check the list of mentoring organizations. Even if a student will not apply, he or she may have the first contact to ezc through the GSoC website. Since eZ Systems has a broad network of partners, it may be possible to provide additional local mentorship through a local partner. Two more project ideas: ezcContentRepository ============= eZPublish has a very sophisticated concept of content handling with it's content classes build on attributes build on datatypes. Since the concept is so good it may be no coincidence, that a similiar concept exists in the Java world under the name "Java Content Repository".[1] A group of Typo3 developers is trying to port the Java implementation of this standard, Jackrabbit, to PHP.[2] The GSoC project for ezc would be to create a Content Repository Component implementing the best concepts of eZPublish and the Java Content Repository. Role Based Permissions ============== I see only one big block that is missing in ezc besides the component described above to build a complete eZPublish on top of the components: A permission management system.
