  1. KDE and GSoC by Peter+H.S. · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are several very good projects on the Wiki page. My favourites are probably:

    Project: Port Amarok to Qt5/Kf5/Plasma5: Something I use every day.

    Project: Port KSystemLog to use journald as a backend: With systemd it is actually possible to make a distro agnostic GUI log viewer that isn't just a "less" with windows decorations. I like using the CLI "journalctl", but a GUI, perhaps with some log watch support and real time panel notifications about "syslog level: Error" events and above would be nice.

    Project: Implement PDF Poppler features: I like Okular very much, so more features like linearized pdf support would be nice.
