I understand and is why I was thinking of simple projects for students to
pick up.

What do you think of the idea of asking some MLT devs if they would be
interested in mentoring? There are many MLT modules that we can try
develop. Do you think we could also ask some KDE devs if they could help
out here to do projects like improving interface and stuff? I might be
wrong but this would require only some QT knowledge without the need for
the Kdenlive internals. I am thinking here of a redesign of the render
widget or improvements to the bin...

I hope you consider some of the points I did in the previous paragraph
since they won't touch the timeline code.
