Season of KDE 2015 - Port Qt5 - Mentor

[Stefan Derkits]

Hello Aditya,

finishing/pushing forward the Qt5 port seems to be a good idea for a SoK.

Some comments:
-) I don't see the porting away from KDELibs4Support a priority (except
if it really would not work with it)
-) The Context View needs to be ported to KF5, Qt5 & QML but if you
refine your proposal, please take into account that this is splitted up
between the backend and porting the individual ContextWidgets. Here I
see the priority in porting the backend and one or two example Widgets
(so that the porting of the rest of the widgets can be splitted up)

If you already know that this isn't possible in the given timeframe,
could you maybe try to find the tasks that you think will be possible in
the timeframe.

As for mentor, I think you would need actually 2 mentors: one general
Mentor, familiar with Amarok and another one from outside of Amarok that
is very knowledgable about Qt5/KF5 to help you with harder problems
arising in porting (if you find a person combining these things, even
better).
