Hi Ashish :)

Great to hear you are interested in working with KDE.

Yes this is correct. However in previous years KDE has always been
among the biggest orgs taking part in GSoC. Last year for example KDE
was the largest one with 60 slots. So please don't worry about that
too much.

All ideas on the ideas page have a chance to be selected. The most
important thing is that you write a good application. To do that you
need to get involved with the team inside KDE that you want to work
with and start doing small things. That increases your chance of
getting accepted more than anything else.
