Hi all, I just had a prospective student approach me with some GSOC ideas in regards to snaps ( KDE side of things ) that I like. I am willing to mentor as well. However, I have no idea how this works. Are we too late? Is it still possible to get this in, if so, what do I need to do to make it happen? Thanks, Scarlett
