Hello Vivek,

David already replied you about the other project, so my suggestion is 
basically the same...

1) You will need to do some research about this project (hint: we 
discussed about it in kde-telepathy mailing list so you can search the 
archives), start learning about Telepathy and about Tubes (StreamTubes 
and DBusTubes), get familiar with Telepathy-Qt and with KTp source code, 
have a look at kde-games source code and find out what
you could do in kde-games during your GSoC (Stefan is probably the
person that can help you for this).

2) Start coding, sending patches and show us some of your code. This 
will give you some experience, will show us that you can actually 
succeed in GSoC, and will help your project during the evaluation phase

3) Make a plan for what you want to implement, how you want to do it and 
how much time you think it will take. Write the project early and 
discuss it with us on the mailing list or on irc before the deadline.


  Daniele
