Hello, I've been working with plasma for some time now, and am feeling very good, thanks to the plasma (and also kde) developers who were a lot supportive. I really want to work on something for Plasma during GSoc this year (It'll be my my first).<br>
I wanted to ask if I can submit proposals for more than one idea in Plasma itself? I mean to say, it isn't necessary that all the proposals should be from different organisations/projects, right?<br>Even I had initially the Media Center Components in mind, but then I liked other ideas too as i started to get to know more about kde, so I thought this will be the right moment to ask the question.<br>
<br>Thanks :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 4:30 PM, Marco Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:notmart@gmail.com">notmart@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>it's great that this project got so much attention (so now there are 4<br>
people right now interested in it)<br>
and your great experience would be really valuable (eh, you could more<br>
mentor us on the argument than the opposite :p)<br>
what is a bit sad (and i hope the other dudes are reading the ml too)<br>
is that we will get ton of proposals for this one and other valid<br>
ideas won't get any.<br>
<br>
i know this looks very intriguing (nuno mockups are toooooo pretty :p)<br>
but everyone interested on that could perhaps consider also the other<br>
ideas on techbase.<br>
that said i do want proposals on this project because is cool, but i<br>
also think more the proposals are various the better is<br>
(i'm saying this to everyone interested in, so you, alediaferia,<br>
dotevo and elv1313, using the irc terminology :p)<br>
<br>
if everybody really wants it well, just everybody write a proposal,<br>
but is a bit sad that would automatically mean that most will get axed<br>
for sure, rather than having a bit more chance each :)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Marco Martin<br>
