I've invited Joao to the webapp and approved the list subscription and post, and answered a bit there. However, since Joao and the student are both new to KDE, I would like to ask another experienced KDE mentor to step up to co-mentor this task. If you are not already invited to the webapp, please send me your google-connected account, and sub to KDE-Soc-Mentor ML. We always like to have co-mentors for GSoC, but I think it is mandatory for this proposal. Thanks. Valorie
