Hi, Kopete has tasks that can be done by GCI candidates.
Yes, people are busy. Other new members of KDE should take the initiatives for their projects and participate to mentor GCI students. It's a great way to get potential enthusiastic contributors for your projects. It takes effort to be mentor but we always have experienced members to help us when lost on something :) If you can mentor and have time, add your proposal here which you are willing to mentor. This way assessing the interest will be easier. Link to Ideas page: https://community.kde.org/GoogleCodeIn/2017/Ideas Regards, Vijay Krishnavanshi
