Due to this fact, project KF5 port of Kopete would not be on GSoC as it is more or less finished by Laurent Montel and must be finished before end of GSoC, ideally for Applications 17.08 release. If you are still interested in Kopete, please choose other project for Kopete on GSoC. -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com
