Hi, my name is Andrey Popelo, I'm form Ukraine.
This summer I will work on "Markup previews" project for Dojo. It is for people
who use lightweight markup languages (like Markdown, Textile, etc) in their
sites.

The aim is to create a client-side parser which will have an easy way to add
different markup languages and an easy way to load them and use with dojo.editor
and usual textarea nodes.

So it will be handy to quickly preview what you wrote without sending any
requests to the server.

For example you can take a look at Showdown - a javascript port of Markdown.
It is similar to what I intend to do.

Also a reverse parser for each markup language will be created and integrated
with dijit.Editor, so it would be able to produce data in selected markup
language instead of HTML. This will allow to simplify the server side of the
projects that will use this feature.

My mentors are David Snopek and Robert Coup.

It is my first experience in open-source development and is very interesting for
me. Doing Google Summer of Code project for Dojo is a great way to start doing
open-source!
