		+	=== Social Desktop ===
		+
		+	The Social Desktop involves connecting users with each other. The proposed web service for that is the [http://opendesktop.org OpenDeskop] API.
		+	This project involves researching how the semantic web and desktop can be used to create a more peer-to-peer based Internet experience.
		+
		+	The project is divided into different parts:
		+	* Creating a canonical way to retrieve information about a user, using Nepomuk and webservices to define and query characteristics of the "Contact" object.
		+	* Collecting information about the users. A lot is easily available via Akonadi, or for example Attica's library, which is currently in playground
		+	* Integration with webservices such as FlickR, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook. Many of those services can already be used from KDE application, such as FlickR from Digikam, Twitter from Plasma, and Facebook from Akonadi. The challenge is to offer a one stop shop for the social web on the desktop.
		+	* Researching and implementing design concepts how to integrate the user's social environment into the desktop and application UI.
		+
		+	Mentor & more information: Sebastian Kügler (sebas kde org) and social-desktop kde org mailinglist

 When adding a new idea, please bear in mind the question: can a student with very little knowledge of KDE code complete this work in three months? If you can't answer "yes", your idea is probably not for this page. Please remember that this is '''not''' a generic wishlist page for KDE developers.

		+
		+	'''Project: GLib/GObject based client library for Akonadi'''
		+
		+	'''Description''':
		+	Akonadi is not only intended to be used by KDE applications but also by applications built on different tool stacks. Thus the canonical interface between Akonadi server and its clients is the Akonadi storage access protocol and D-Bus for out-of-band notifications.
		+
		+	'''Expected results:'''
		+	* Design and implement a GLib/GObject based client library, probably modify a respective IMAP parser library to process the quite similar Akonadi protocol.
		+	* Small, unit test like, programs using the library to perform simple tasks.
		+
		+	'''Knowledge Pre-Requisite:'''
		+	Other than the usual KDE projects this does not require C++ or Qt/KDE experience but rather experience in C and GLib/GObject.
		+	Bonus for finding a co-mentor with such experience.
		+
		+	'''References:'''
		+	See respective subsection under KDE-PIM above

 The idea here is to have a GUI element that shows Strigi search results based on the element selected from the periodic table, or the item from the glossary, found on the users desktop.

+Many parts of [http://edu.kde.org/kalzium Kalzium] could need a fresh up of the interface. For example, the main table should be written using Qt Model/View technique and for example use SVGs as a background. A fist (uncomplete but working) code is already existing.
 At the same time, many dialogs are not as beautiful as they could be. This project could also include the creation of a "simplified Kalzium" mode in which some parts of the feature set are hidden; this would be good for schools.
