GSoC

[Oliver Sander]

Hi Shubham,

please keep the conversation on the mailing list, so everybody stays up-to-date.

Regarding my questions about your experience: I was confused by the fact that your
email name doesn't match the name you signed this email with.  That latter name
I have seen on phabricator, and I am aware of your work there.

The "sticky notes" project appears to be quite popular, so maybe you want to focus
on another one?  Or actually propose your own: The Okular bug tracker is full of
feature requests that would make good projects.

Best,
Oliver

As far as contribution to KDE or more specifically okular is concerned, I have already two revisions in review, out of which one is about to be accepted. Regarding building poppler, I have not done that and will like some help on it. Below I will be providing links to all my previous work for past 7 months with KDE which will include my okular work too.

I have gone through the okular's project ideas and all were interesting to me. I would like to formally discuss the ideas with all you experienced developers.
