Hi Kevin and all my other mentors and kde-soc

Sorry for keeping quiet for so long I just didn't have much to report. I've 
been working 6/7 days a week for the past month so didn't have any time for 
my soc project. Thankfully thats finshed now (down to a more sensible 5 days) 
so I started my project Monday. So far I just fleshed out my ideas a bit, got 
a few interface mockups done and have tried to get a copy of KDE's source 
compiled. I've had a little trouble getting KDE compiling, I tried with the 
3.4 source first but couldn't get arts to compile, I'm downloading head as I 
type this so hopefully I'll have more luck there. If I don't get head to 
compile I'll mail the kde-soc list. I'll start hacking as soon as I get KDE 
compiling.

One thing I was wondering about, Google wouldn't mind if I post my mockups to 
kde-usability to get some criticism or does that count as not doing the 
project on my own.

Regards,
John
