[daisy] [GSoC] applying for the development of a .NET library for Daisy

[Cyberchand]

Hi,

I am a 21 years old French student applying for the 2007 Google Summer 
of Code, and I would really love to work on the Daisy project this summer.
I have a little experience of other CMS (Typo3, Joomla, and much more), 
and no one convinced me principally because of the lack of 
interoperability (it is very hard to migrate from one CMS to another, I 
can tell!). The Daisy project seems to me a very good approach, since it 
uses XML a lot, which is a guarantee that the documents created with 
Daisy will be easy to eventually reuse later. Moreover, the physical 
separation between repository and front-end allows, among other things, 
the development of third-part GUI editor.
So, I am getting to the point : I am thinking of developing a .NET 
library for Daisy, which would encapsulate all the HTTP/XML stuff to 
communicate with the repository server. Then it would be conceivable to 
develop whithout to much pain a Windows GUI or an ASP.NET interface for 
publishing content on a Daisy system.
I think I could do a great job on this project because, beyond the fact 
that I am very excited in working on a CMS project which, I think, have 
a very well-thinked approach, I have a strong experience in .NET 
programming (especially in C#) and in XML manipulation (XSLT, XPath, 
XQuery...).

I am looking forward to any comments, feedbacks, proposals, and new ideas !

Best regards,

Cyrille Rossant
