Hello Tomas,

as you may already know, right now it is the off season for Google
Summer of Code. We always welcome new contributors, but we do not
always have resources for mentoring them actively. I'm going to
forward this to the Amarok development mailing list to see if there's
somebody who can mentor you (right now I cannot commit to this).

If nobody steps up, you are still welcome to work on the project: just
submit your patches on Review Board. The team can try and answer your
questions (channel #amarok on irc.freenode.net), we just won't be able
to follow you as closely as a dedicated mentor would.

Cheers,
