I can think of quite a few ideas. But i can't mentor them. My C++ knowledge is too little to be able to mentor anyone at that. But i can make up ideas :) Here we go, feel free to grab one. This is very personal preference like, but perhaps some ideas are considered good enough. 1. Make all KDE's models ready for QML KDE has some models (KDirModel comes to mind) that work quite well, but are aimed at the QWidget age. Keep that compatibility but make it usable for QML as well. With KDirModel it should be noted that there are a few different implementations already (3 that i know of) that all already implement QML support. 2. Recreate KDirWatch KDirWatch works, but it's internals are very odd. All different backends (inotify, fam, polling and a few others) are all implemented in the same cpp file. That makes it difficult to maintain. KDirWatch would probably benefit from a interface like implementation structure where each implementation is implemented in it's own class. 3. Investigate + build a generic global shortcut implementation KDE currently has it, but it going to have to change for wayland anyway. Qxt also has something. The end goal here should be to come up with something that "could" be merged back in Qt. That's it for the things that i can think of at this moment. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
