This is some interesting work you did there. Getting into open source is 
certainly a good idea :-)

Yes. Unfortunately we don't have a good way to reach the users of the web site 
as there is no registration or any other tracking of users.

To reach out to potential users we could try the kde-devel mailing list or the 
qt-interest mailing list. 

The effectivity of getting feedback in person and watching people use or 
comment on the prototypes is much higher than via a form, though, so maybe 
getting some people from your university would actually give good data. 
Inqlude doesn't require a lot of special knowledge, at least for the general 
usage.

This needs a little bit more thought. So I think it would be good to create a 
plan how approach that for the GSoC project.

It seems your domain is listed as a source of spam and rejected by my email 
provider. I'm not sure, I can do anything about that.

Regards,
Cornelius
