<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"> Thanks Myriam. Actually I was looking for some new developments of amarok that may turn up as a GSoC project idea. Just to have an idea regarding the components which can be given a focus in GSoC will be of much help, with the declaration of the project ideas being still weeks away I would like to know about the ideas that the community/ developers think should be a GSoC project.</div>

</div></div>Nice to see you are interested in contributing to KDE and Amarok.<br>
Please read carefully all the documentation listed here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Join" target="_blank">http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Join</a><br>
<br>
and of course, since you want to contribute to Amarok development, the<br>
first step should be to subscribe to the <a href="mailto:amarok-devel@kde.org" target="_blank">amarok-devel@kde.org</a> mailing<br>
list :)<br>
Once all this is done, I suggest you have a look at the list of bugs here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/AmarokOpenBugs" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/AmarokOpenBugs</a><br>
<br>
Please do not start to write any code without first talking to us<br>
about what you are planning to work on and how you plan to solve the<br>
issue, on this mailing list.<br>
<br>
All patches need to go to <a href="http://reviewboard.kde.org" target="_blank">http://reviewboard.kde.org</a> and you will need<br>
an identity account from <a href="http://identity.kde.org" target="_blank">http://identity.kde.org</a>, but if you have<br>
contributed to a KDE project already you should be familiar with these<br>
steps :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards, Myriam<br>
