Either way, your point is moot. This is not, we think, something that  
is necessary for amarok 2, and as we only have the ability to sponsor  
a few select students for the GSoC, we are going to be working with  
students that we think contribute to essential parts of amarok.

furthermore, this proposal does not sound reasonable and feasible in  
the time allotted.
