Hi! In kf5 branch of Kopete repository is unfinished kf5 port of Kopete: https://cgit.kde.org/kopete.git/ On KDE reviewboard are some of those commits in review phase: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/groups/kopete/?show-closed=0 And there are open issues for them which needs to be fixed before they can be merged into kopete master git repository. First part which needs to be done is conversion of KDE3 support code to KDE4. If you are interested in this project you need to look at current state of kf5 port (in kf5 branch) and figure out what is not done yet and what needs to be fixed. Patches needs to be cleaned up before they can be merged into master. >From every GSoC student in KDE we would require contribution to chosen project before applying. Contribution could be really small. Some small bug fix or some small feature. The most important part is for student to start using application (ideally for everyday usage) so would be able to find something which would like to change... -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com
