Hello Abhinandan,

I really like your your proposal, and I think it would be great to
implement this as a SoK project for Amarok. I'd also be willing to
mentor you, but there is a small catch: We are currently a bit
thin-stretched with available mentors. Myself I am already mentoring a
SoC project, and soon another SoK as well. Plus I have real life
commitments, so I cannot say how much time I can dedicate exactly.
That said, in reality our development is very much IRC based (plus
mailing list of course), and the developers that are online at a given
time usually help out the others. So it's not that much of a problem I
would think.

If you are generally ok with that, we could go ahead with your proposal.
