Then please read my mail again, I didn't specify that link at all, I said, and I quote: "See point 8 in my blog instructions on how to build Amarok. There is a note..." The blog post on how to build Amarok is certainly not the one you link to. Really, you need to be able to read things and understand them, else this is going nowhere... ... > 2) > I have tried to read the source code pertaining to my project and read > related classes but it is so vast, that I don't know how much to read.

See, all this information is out there, specifically there are like dozens of links to all this from http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Join and it's parent pages. Potential GSoC students need to be bright enough to read all this and know their basic C++/Qt coding. You are also supposed to read the HACKING guide documents that are in the source cod and work on a JuniorJob, all that has been told repeatedly to students all over the place, the amarok-devel@kde.org mailing list archive is full of links and hints. What we can't do for you is work on the proposal and understand basic code relations. If you can't do that on your own (mind you, we are willing to help you with precise questions that are on very specific code classes, we just can't give you a tutorial on understanding all 260.000 lines of code Amarok is composed of) then you might rethink your application to GSoC. GSoC is not meant for beginner coders but for people who have at least some basic skills and are able to work in an online community and think by themselves. What we can't and refuse to do is spoon-feeding you things that you should be able to find on your own. We all work as volunteers and, unlike the GSoC students, we will not get paid for the mentoring work, so don't mistake us for instructors in a coding class.We all have a Real Life and Work besides Amarok and simply can't spend all out free time on student applications, that is a totally wrong assumption on your behalf. So stop panicking, use your brains :) Regards, Myriam -- Proud member of the Amarok and KDE Community Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
