You might want to read
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-india/2014-February/001229.html and the
links in it. Further, play around with the software and see if you think
something can be improved, or pick up a bug from
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance%20desc&bug_status=__open__&product=plasma-mediacenter&list_id=941668
