Hello, I've been working with plasma for some time now, and am feeling very good, thanks to the plasma (and also kde) developers who were a lot supportive. I really want to work on something for Plasma during GSoc this year (It'll be my my first). I wanted to ask if I can submit proposals for more than one idea in Plasma itself? I mean to say, it isn't necessary that all the proposals should be from different organisations/projects, right? Even I had initially the Media Center Components in mind, but then I liked other ideas too as i started to get to know more about kde, so I thought this will be the right moment to ask the question.
