Project proposal for gsoc

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hello, I've been working with plasma for some time now, and am feeling very
good, thanks to the plasma (and also kde) developers who were a lot
supportive. I really want to work on something for Plasma during GSoc this
year (It'll be my my first).
I wanted to ask if I can submit proposals for more than one idea in Plasma
itself? I mean to say, it isn't necessary that all the proposals should be
from different organisations/projects, right?
Even I had initially the Media Center Components in mind, but then I liked
other ideas too as i started to get to know more about kde, so I thought
this will be the right moment to ask the question.

Thanks :)
