Hello Thiago,

ok a little late by here my reply.

I am working on integrating Nepomuk in Amarok.

Amarok 2 source is quite nice, though some things could be better documented. 
A few weeks ago when i first looked into it, I was a little afraid as it seems 
to be a lot of complex source. But that turns out to be wrong. Sure it is a 
lot of source but I believe is it always at the first look on "foreign" source 
a little hard to understand it.

Yes I have. A little later than I hoped. But I am quite happy that i have 
already something that can be acutally used (although a lot is still missing). 

> Have you committed anything (code, designs, etc.)?

Yes, but it was a somehow weird. It was a little more than 3 year after my 
last commit on the Amarok source (but that were only a few small things).

Lets hope that after GSoC it will not take me an other 3 years to make my next 
commit.

Not yet. I want first have something that is actually somehow usable,  to have 
something to show. As I can now play music which is indexed in Nepomuks store 
I think it the right time to do it the next days.

I already "knew" most of the amarok devs (at least by nick ;-) ) and was 
active in #kde for quite some time. But the last weeks were quite nice. Got to 
know some nice people. Also thanks to my mentor.
