Blogging stuff is done. Still we need the akonadi/kresource resource and 
probably some work in KJournal, e.g. Fotos.

Concerning blogging stuff, yes.

Not instead ;-) But if this project without the blogging stuff is not enough 
for a Summer of Code project, I would propose something different or you 
expand your ideas somehow different. But hey I'm not the one to ask here, I'm 
new to KDE programming myself. It was simply a personal(!) proposal of 
something I would like to see, which is also related to KOrganizer.

Maybe you can help me a bit with the KOrganizer resource, since programming 
all alone is boring. I don't think that would be a lot of work and you can 
still do a different SoC project.

Cheers,
Christian
