Hello Aditya
Welcome! For Google Summer of Code 2017 (GSoC), a next step would be to
draft a proposal according the guidelines published at [1]. You can use
any tools at your choice (GoogleDoc, Markdown in a Git repository,
OpenOffice, etc.). Then you can share the link either publicly on this
mailing list if you are fine with public review, or privately with your
mentor (me for now) if you prefer. 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 we need your expertise 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 you 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.
Good luck!
