		+
		+	'''Project Information:''' Digikam is a photograph collection manager able to collect, organize and send pictures to some major web gallery services, like Picasa Web or Flickr. Face recognition is useful for it's purpose as it makes tagging people on photos really easy and painless. People with thousands of photos in their library would get much of the work needed to catalog them done by digikam right in the process of acquisition from media.
		+
		+	'''Expected results:''' The scope of this project is to implement in digikam a face recognition component (using Principal component analysis - PCA) which automatically tags faces when new photos are inserted. This is one of the highest priority feature request: wish 146288.
		+
		+	This component should be able to keep a little database of known faces and apply the related tags for them. When a face is not recognized in those present in the database, the face should however be selected and tagged manually by the user.

 '''Brief explanation:'''
-KRunner has the potential to be awesome in its functionality as an interface for quick access to a wealth of information.  However, in its current form, the only way to add functionality from the point of view of the user base is to write plugins, which requires a knowledge of C++ and the KDE framework.  The project would be to create a scripting interface, either through a plugin or in the native code, that uses Kross.

-A plugin or update for KRunner that give access to the scripting interfaces provides by Kross, allowing users to simply drop a script in /usr/lib/kde4/ to behave like a normal compiled plugin.  Also, a suite of scripts demonstrating the use of this new feature and greatly extending KRunner's functionality as a quick-use information-grabber.

		+	==== Integrate Mobile Broadband Connection Assistant into Network Management====
		+	libmbca/mobile-broadband-provider info is a database of connection parameters and supporting library for mobile broadband (cellular networking). This makes it easy for people to setup their datacard or phone to provide an Internet connection. This idea suggests integrating this database into the Network Management tool for KDE 4.
		+
		+	'''Expected results:'''
		+	* UI components to access the provider info database
		+	* Integration with the configuration module for Network Management
		+	* Unit tests to ensure that Network Management is robust if the provider info database is corrupted.

		+	====Project: Robots Game ====
		+
		+	[http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Games/Proposed_Games#Robot_Battle_.28Programming_Game.29 Based on this idea] the robots game would be a cross between games and edu, a game where users would also learn some programming basics while they are building their robots for the competition.
		+
		+	'''Brief explanation:''' The idea is to develop a simple game loosely based on Robocode, where computer programmed robots created by the player can fight among themselves.
		+
		+	'''Expected results:''' A fully playable game which is also an opportunity for learning programming basics and provide infinite replayability.
		+
		+	'''Prerequisites:''' Strong C++/Qt skills
		+
		+	'''Mentor:''' To be picked among kdegames and kdeedu community
