KDevelop problems suitable for a Ph.D. thesis

[Πέτρος Σιλιγκούνας]

Hi, I hope you find your thesis theme soon. I would propose kdevelop
zealdoc plugin which needs some modifications to compile.

Another nice addition would be finishing the plugin for showing code meta
information with inline notes.[1] [2]

I hope all the best
