This raises a general question. A few years ago the KDEGames team 
decided not to accept new games as GSoC projects anymore because they 
tend to end up deserted quickly after the project ended.

So, is this year's project about a new game or about the conversion of 
an existing game to QML? Would we accept either? I mean, regardless of 
who would be mentoring it?
