GSoC again

[Aleix Pol]

I would like to participate as a student too.
I'm not sure what subject I'll be going for, though. (milian, maybe we
should talk so that we don't step on each other, since I though about the
community stuff+git too xD, i have more ideas anyway).

well, I think that my gsoc's were not that bad. The cmake support is working
great and we're just not mature enough to push kross plugins but they are
working too.

It would be a pitty if we could not do all gsoc's due to lack of mentors..
