Do you have a blog? I know there's a lot of people who have been waiting for<br>
proper webcam support in Phonon for some time, and blogging about it might<br>
help raise awareness. You should probably also contact the (off the top of my<br>
head) Kamoso, KMess and Kopete developers some time (if nothing else just ping<br>
them on IRC).<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I don't have a blog unfortunately. I'm feeling lazy when it comes to writing about what I have done. But this summer I plan to create a blog-like personal website.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You are right about raising awareness, I haven't thought of that. But I believe that first I should have something to show before contacting the mentioned developers. Anyway, I hope that everything goes smooth and there will be no grave unforeseen complications :P</div>

Also don't worry about reduced capacity during exams, I'm sure you'll be fine<br>
(most students have exams they need to read for that overlap with the GSoC<br>
time...).<br>
