regarding contributing to KDE-Education project "Pairs" |Mentoring

[Harsh Thakkar]

Dear Aleix, Heena and community,

Firstly, thank you very much  for a detailed reply pin-pointing out issues.
I do realize the difficulty level of the porting idea. I have noted the
points you pointed out.

Secondly, please pardon me for the extremely long mail, i had no reply of
the how-to's since an a newbie in devel-kde community.

Finally, Since i am looking forward to getting involved the process,
mentoring isn't my main agenda, I would very glad to contribute to the
pairs project under your and Marco's guidance. Contribution is what matters
for me :)
