proposal ideas

[Sinny Kumari]

Hi Sunanda !

As shantanu suggested , first install PMC and then use it. Further, see
what improvements you can think  of in existing PMC in terms of UI or
existing features improvement.

Some of them are already listed on KDE's idea page
http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2013/Ideas#Project:_Improvements_and_enhancements_for_Plasma_Media_Center
.<http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2013/Ideas#Project:_Improvements_and_enhancements_for_Plasma_Media_Center>

Also, take a look at PMC wiki page to know briefly what PMC does currently

>> Please let me know how you find my ideas, and suggest improvements.
