Hi Anthony

Thanks for adding this task. We talked already about adding KGet task, but 
forgot about the last year one. These ideas are still resonable.

Also I will be able to mentor a project this year since I'm not a student this 
year.

If you have any further meta link task for KGet, please add them. Probably you 
can add a "single" project idea just with metalink ideas.

Bye
