-We expect you to be motivated and further more if you are not familiar with the tools we are using. Nevertheless, we would like you to have some familiarities with C++11 or at least C++. If you don't know C++ but you are interested, ask us and we'll give you some references to learn C++ (but you will need to spend a lot of time learning, so be warned). Classic skills in software engineering and SQL are a plus. A love for designing and writing clean code is highly advisable.

 ==Additional Information==
-The current add-on server is old and monolithic so it'd problematic to extend it. That's why we started the last summer a new add-on server during a GSOC (see the proposal of the last year here [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/User:Trademark/GSoC_2013/Addon_Server:_Create_a_new_and_shiny_one]). If you are interested and before starting anything, please come see us.

-There is also a side project of a networking library based on Boost.Asio that we'll use inside the UMCD. It could be great to design the add-on server such that basic add-on part could be re-used in other open-source projects (the requirements for an add-on server are often the same).
