I am new to Google summer of code. Now after some talk on IRC chat, I have found out that it is not necessary to have a mentor assigned to an idea before the application writting will start. However, it is good to know if also the developers thing that my idea is worthy. So I would like to appeal to the evolution developers if they would be so kind and take a look at my idea. And to your question, a mentor , from my point of view, is a person usually a developer, who can help and guide student with / through his project. > > > > I am a daily user of GNOME desktop environment and I am missing useful, > > user-friendly synchronization support with the possibility of broader > settings > > between Evolution (Calendar, phonebook etc.) and mobile devices (Nokia > hand > > phones and so on) via bluetooth.
