I'm moving this to amarok at kde.org since thats where we're talking to
students (despite what Mark might have said :D).

I love that you already have experience with testing since we have no
experience. :) Amarok has one unit test in trunk... and it doesn't
work.

Is there something akonadi-specific about akonaditest currently
(outside of its name?) Maybe perhaps instead of "porting to Amarok"
you could make it generally useful for Qt applications (or is it
already?) As you can tell, I don't know much about akonaditest. Since
the KDE community as a whole decides which projects are accepted, its
better if you can make clear that your project assists the broader KDE
community (only if that makes sense of course).

The next step is to write up an actual proposal. It needs a lot of
detail, a timeline etc etc.

Are you related to Alexandre Oliveria btw? :)
