Hi Eshan,

Thanks for your interest in GSOC and in Isis itself, of course.

We had two students last year, and I mentored them (with Maurizio as
co-mentor); they both built a viewer against the Restful Objects interface
[1], [2].

I must admit though that I had intended to skip mentoring a GSOC project
this year, and I don't think any of the other committers are interested
(speak up if no!)

That's not to say I don't have several ideas for projects, for example:

- build a "real-life" app in some suitable domain, along with a
semi-academic write-up of their learnings
   - to would give us another substantial example app, along with some
marketing material about how learnable Isis

- documentation: develop screencasts for all the various features that we
have
   - cos people would rather watch youtube than read

- to build some new off-the-shelf domain services, like the current Excel
and Word mail merge ones
  - eg email
  - eg SMSing
  - eg Drools rules engine

- to develop an integration with Lucene, for full text-search across the
domain
  - I don't think this is a full summer's work though

- to develop an oAuth integration
  - probably not a full summer's work though (even though I'm not exactly
sure what an oAuth integration actually is)

- to write a clean-room implementation of a JDO enhancer, as a replacement
for the DN one, and that ideally integrates with the JRebel plugin
  - not really Isis-specific, but would definitely benefit the Isis
community

- implement "Kemble", our proposed DSL for Isis, using XTend [3]


So do say if any of the above strike you as interesting.  HOWEVER, since
I'm less that 50:50 about being a mentor this year, I'd need to see some
real commitment during the "getting to know you" phase of the programme
before I decide to take it on.

HTH
Dan
