<div dir="ltr">I am a new university student; i made 12 junior jobs in KDE for Google-CodeIn so i am familiar with Qt and KDE architecture. For this year i want to participate GSoC with a KDE project so i have read all ideas and i think creating a better KMix has a high priority. I am sure that i can make it but i also want to learn what is community's opinion about that project, what should it include or exclude.<div>
