</div>Step 1, email the mailing list showing that you have some interesting<br>
ideas for the project.<br>
You emailed me, so you were pretty close.<br>

</div>Good stuff. There's a lot of technical challenges in those, and a bit<br>
of research needed (such as...we already interpret smileys and show it<br>
in picture emoticons).<br>
<br>
Step 2: You need to do a bit of research into the area, make a list of<br>
what you intend to code, how you intend to do it. i.e the Calendar<br>
one; I've got no idea how you could do that.<br>
The more it shows that you've thought through everything, the more<br>
likely we are to pick you as a GSOC student.<br>
<br>
Step 3:<br>
Show us you can code. Have you made any other KDE contributions? Any<br>
other projects? Ideally do some junior jobs on our project<br>
(<a href="http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration#Getting_Involved" target="_blank">http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration#Getting_Involved</a>)<br>
to prove yourself, and to familiarise yourself with the code.<br>
