This is indeed different than the GSOC project I proposed. My aim in this project proposal is to get more close to a Skype/Social Network interaction level on top of an XWiki document. The objective is to be able to run a discussion on an XWiki document while having a a stronger interaction than what you usually have in the Wiki. Currently if you publish a document and then launch a discussion you will:
1/ Send a mail to a list or a group of people (this can be done using SendByMail) 2/ Ask the people to come annotate or comment 3/ Thanks to AutoWatch people can get this in their watchlist. Unfortunately the watch list is only hourly to the max and there is no guarantee that participants will actually read it. The objective with the Advance email integration would be to allow a much more real time interaction either in an email or chat system by allowing every user to be notified about an annotation of a comment (with a nice UI actually showing that comment) and by allowing to reply it in much simpler ways: 1/ Just responding to the chat message (jabber or skype) 2/ Just responding to the email The message would then be automatically added as a new comment or as a response to an existing comment or annotations (if we have threaded annotations). This would lead to new notifications to the participants of this discussion. The real time chat integration would be particularly interesting here (imagine a live group chat in skype or jabber where you can discuss a specific document), but email is interesting too (this could be tested in the dev lists with xwiki.org). In a chat integration, you could also decide to push the notifications to a existing group chat (the team chat or the irc channel), or decide to create a new group for that specific discussion. This could be the same with email with either individual emails or a push to a mailing list.
