Hi Devs, I'm a Computer Science Engineering undergraduate (final year), very much interested in participating GSoc 2010 under Apache Xerces project. I'm passionate about compiler theory and parsers related stuff , hence would ideally like to do "Schema Component Designator parser and evaluator" as my summer project.But since after going through the mailing list, i see it has already been undertaken.Hence i would like to know whether Xerces has similar projects or features that are to yet be implemented, in this nature...
I have fair bit of knowledge and experience in parsers and infact was involved in building an XML schema lang, DSD 2.0 parser (a Recursive descent one) + pretty printer for schema definition language spec http://www.brics.dk/DSD/dsd2.html for one of our internal modules. I also do hv experience in open source development especially in WebServices Security Specifications, Apache Axis2 , and OSGi n Eclipse.Following are open-source projects i have developed and been involved with. 1)WS-Policy(ie:-Security Policy) Extraction tool for Web services Messaging(SOAP) ( https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon/components/policy-builder) 2)Ruby script Compliance (Messaging and Service Level Infrastructure) for Apache Axis2 using jruby( https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon/components/jruby/) I would be very much pleased if you could provide me some feedback on available Xerces projects/ideas (not yet been undertaken) to be done for GSoc.
