Hello Christoph, David!


Thank you for your input!



I have read through the shared materials, browsed Bugzilla reports, dug up and 
read the 
https://blogs.kde.org/2018/08/02/engineering-plasma-extensions-and-stability-—-present-and-future
 by Eike, and watched David's 
https://conf.kde.org/en/Akademy2018/public/events/66.

I like the project idea that David suggested, and I would like to work on it.

I'll only have half a year or so, but David also does a ton of other work all 
around Plasma, so I hope to be able to complete the project in time 😅



> CompSci professors always look more for research  than actual coding

That's fair. Even though the format would declare it an engineering thesis and 
shift the focus more to the code, I would still need to show research skills, 
explain the novelty of this work (maybe by using a more general topic name) and 
write plenty of text. Do you think the topic allows for that?



If so, I will ask the university representative for approval of this project as 
an engineering development thesis topic. For that, I will need a formal 
"consultant" with a master's degree in Computer Science who can reason about 
the topic's relevance, track my progress, and sign the papers. Would anyone be 
up for the role?



Best regards,

Ilya
