Hi Vincent, (had to subscribe to devs list before posting ;) )
*** The differences : - The GSOC aims at syncing a mail/jabber channel in a page comments, while my project aims at reading and storing (no mail sending) in wiki pages and not in comments. In my application, each mail is stored in a wiki page, each topic is stored in another wiki page. So for a thread with 3 mails you get 4 pages created. - For now it's not possible to send Replies from my application (though I plan to add this) - In my application all mails stored in configured mail server connection / account / folder are read and archived in wiki (it's possible to delete them or to keep them with READ flag set, so they're read only once) - mails are not displayed through page comments, but in different modes : livetable, threaded (re-create the discussion thread) or "forum"-like - my app has/will have many side-features (ldap integration, multi-servers, parameterizable mailing-lists, mail types, timeline view, statistics view by mailing-list, ...) To me, I would more see the GSOC project as a good opportunity to add the "Reply" feature to my own app but ... ;-) *** Timeframe What takes me the more time is to convert my app to use a Java XWiki Component ... With issues about accessing the old-core, and the conversion from Groovy to Java language ... If I keep it as it is (using a Groovy Class in a wiki page), it could be done in maybe a month or so. A bit less if I hide some unfinished features for a first version. I know it's far from best, but the major part of the code is located in a Groovy class so it's more a matter of transforming it into Java component(s). But please realize that I can't guarantee this deadline ... It'll depend on my availability. *** Scope I developed it to use the feature for my job, and I want to "offer" it to XWiki community as it works nicely and would be a great addition IMO. If you want to add it to XWiki I'm ok also of course, but it should remain open-source. But I'd may have to obtain "permission" from my employer, even if not developped during daily-job-time ... All I write seems to be their possession "by default" ... What's cool is that this application has nothing to do with my job's business. If you have more questions please let me know ... I could also provide some pictures snapshots so you get a better idea of what to expect.
