Aaron CCed an earlier message in this thread to kde-pim. I am subscribed here 
now as well, just in case :)

I am quite confident that we can find a mentor on the PIM side for that, 
potentially even more than one.

On a related note: one thing that I tried (and failed) already last year is to 
get someone interested in general workspace intergration for PIM 
infrastructure components [1]. IMHO this is even more important for Active 
than for Desktop. When being suggested as a PIM GSOC idea it seems to fail to 
get students' attention. Any chance someone from Plasma workspaces thinks this 
woud be worthwhile?

Cheers,
Kevin

[1] being able to check and control the state of background processes, e.g. 
pausing mail fetch, triggering synchronization. Potentially with activity 
based policies.
