Re: GSoC 2010 is a go!

[Gregory Haynes]

Hello all,

A couple summers ago I participated in GSoC and created Kobby and Libqinfinity as a result. For those who don't know, Kobby is a collaborative text editor which is network compatible with Gobby. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend doing so sometime (its probably available on your distro).  

The project has come a very long way since I started in 2008, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done before the average user would consider using it regularly. A lot of usability improvements could (and should) be made, an intuitive document up/download system is needed, and theres also a long list of features that id like to add once these must have's are completed.

I think Kobby would be a great candidate for GSoC this year and I would love to be able to work on it all summer. Ideally a mentor for this project would be someone with experience developing KTextEditor and/or UI Usability experience, but neither should be required since theres lots of help to be found from the KDE community.

Are there any mentors out there who would like to be part of this project this summer? Any questions or recommendations for my application?

Thanks,

Gregory Haynes
