Hello Avik, sorry for the late response, and thank you for your interest in contributing to Amarok. I think your proposal is very interesting, and personally I would love to see it being implemented. So you are welcome to do your SoK project at Amarok. There is a little catch though, in that we are a bit thin-stretched with mentors, as we are already supervising several GSoC projects and two upcoming SoK projects. So I could offer to be your mentor, but as I have time constraints of my own, in reality we would mentor you more in a team fashion, which is already our usual working mode. Amarok is heavily based on IRC (in addition to mailing lists), and usually whoever is around at a given time helps out the others if they have any questions. So I don't think that it's a huge issue, as you would still be able to get the advice and guidance you need. If you are ok with this, we could continue discussing the details of your project. -- Mark Kretschmann Amarok Developer Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe http://amarok.kde.org - http://fsfe.org _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
