Fwd: Fwd: GSoC Idea based on Kmid

[Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas]

I don't have time to guarantee my availability as a SOC mentor, so you are welcome to take over the job. Anyway, 
I was not aware of your interest in KMid. Sorry if my memory is at fault, but have you contributed to KMid with code, advice, discussions or any other means?

Regards,
Pedro
