We're delighted that Google has given us 10 slots for GSOC 2008 and we're delighted to have received so many students proposals (all of very good quality - the selection process was hard this year). In the end we've selected the following projects/students:

• SSO and OpenID Support by Markus Lanthaler, mentored by Thomas Mortagne
• REST API for XWiki by Cismaru Alexandru, mentored by Sergiu Gabriel Dumitriu
• WebDAV Interface for XWiki by Asiri Rathnayake, mentored by Ludovic Dubost
• XWiki Watch: UI & ergonomics improvements by Ecaterina Valică, mentored by Anca Paula Luca
• XWiki Office import by Wang Ning, mentored by Vincent Massol
• XWiki Syntax validation, coloring and suggestion in XEclipse by malaka, mentored by Fabio Mancinelli
• Distributed XWiki Search Engine by Sai Krishna Pendyala, mentored by David Ward
• XWiki Offline project application by Eduard Moraru, mentored by Sergiu Gabriel Dumitriu
• Collaborative Business Drawing in GWT by Miguel José Carvalho Bento, mentored by Jean-Vincent Drean
• Presentation Application by Arpit Jain, mentored by Jérôme Velociter

The way for students to work with the XWiki project is defined on the XWiki GSOC page.

Welcome aboard to all students!
