Hi Annie, Before I start, I want you to welcome you to KDE and Plasma, and to say that everything I write here is solely my point of view, and doesn't need to reflect the opinion of other Plasma mentors.
I needed to write the statement above since most of the time I sound to harsh while I'm not, so keep that in mind while reading the rest of the mail. :) So here we go :) Don't get me wrong, but reading your proposal doesn't ... well, it doesn't really say much. It is expected that you'll have to study the current code, the libplasma, ... Separating the development in backend (or to say model) and frontend (the view) is also a standard procedure. What exactly makes /you/ special? And why should /your/ project proposal be accepted instead of another? Making mock-ups after the project is accepted is (again, from my point of view) not acceptable - this project is mostly about UI since there is not much you need to do in the backend (rating system instead of favourite widgets and all that, ... is not that much work) I'm not saying that you should envision now the exact thing you'll be making, but you should have some general idea about it. And you should put that idea on paper for us to see. It would be even better to also specify why you made the design choices you made, and what you think are the downsides of your approach. Cheerio! _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
