We already have a student for "Easy partitioning" so you choosing another one comes in handy :p I'd add one more thing to this GSoC which is "Disk Management", basically this includes: 1-Creating iso-s from optical mediums 2-Be able to mount the iso's 3-Burn these iso's into an optical medium What do you think? Can you send a proposal to kde-hardware-de...@kde.org including on it some information about yourself? Thanks! :) >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
