Question about SoC conditions

[Thomas Kadauke]

Hey SoCers and mentors!

I know that I'm supposed to finish my project alone, but I was wondering how 
much help I'm allowed to get from other people. Obviously my mentor is 
allowed to help me out, but is it also possible to ask for comments or help 
from other people, e.g. usability experts or the kde-devel mailing list?

Also, can I ask artists to create icons for me, or would that be cheating?

Thanks,
--Thomas
