Firstly, thank you for the quick reply.

The KDE Ideas page says the following about this project :

*Only large scale integration proposals (i.e. more then just Amarok) will
constitute a full GSoC* *Available for Season of KDE*
Could you direct me to the relevant information where I can begin
researching about such kind of integration. Just some place I can start
would be great. Even vague examples of this being implemented for some
other kind of projects would be immensely helpful.

Regards,
Jasneet
