Looks generally good to me.
But for VXQUERY-32 it is not clear to me what exactly has to be done and
what is already available.
(Also, it would be really good to understand if/how a combination of
storage in HDFS and text indexing could work - but that's probably not a
project for this year :) ).

I created tickets for each idea:
XMark: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-128
Hadoop: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-131
Indexing: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-32
Please update the tickets or let me know if something could be
improved in
the ticket's description.

Hi Vassilis,
Very nice! Of course we'll have to stick to the GSoC rules the
selecting
the applicants.
If they are interested they might start off by reading the FAQ at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_
program/google/gsoc2015/help_page to understand what the expectations
are
and what the goals and criteria are.
Cheers,

I agree these are all great ideas. I think the XMark Benchmark would
be my
first preference.
I know some UCR students that may be interested in applying for
these as
GSOC.

I wanted to get the ball started, so we could be ready for student
interaction. A few ideas are already in JIRA. I will add the
missing
ones.
Thanks,

I agree, those all should be fun projects and helpful projects.
The next steps for us be to add those projects to JIRA with a GSoC
tag,
as
that's where people will look for it.
I think that we're still a little early, as the mentoring
organizations
will only be finalized in February.
But I think that it's a safe bet that the ASF will be in and it's
good
to
do the project descriptions now.
Cheers,

Those all sound like excellent projects!
UCI is also running a summer intern program for selected foreign
undergrads.
That might be another source of help, especially for something
like the
first project.

Google Summer of Code (GSOC) is just around the corner and I
wanted to
suggest a few ideas.
- XMark Benchmark - VXQuery still needs more XQuery coverage to
run
all
the
XMark queries.
- HDFS Support - Many organizations are saving data to HDFS and
it
would
be
great if VXQuery could read this data. In addition, the VXQuery
cluster
could even be managed by Yarn.
- XML Indexing - Previous work was done on indexing XML, but the
project
was never fully integrated into VXQuery. It would be nice to fully
integrate XML indexing into VXQuery.
What are the next steps for us (VXQuery) to participate in GSOC?
