Dear Aleix, Heena and community, Firstly, thank you very much for a detailed reply pin-pointing out issues. I do realize the difficulty level of the porting idea. I have noted the points you pointed out.
Secondly, please pardon me for the extremely long mail, i had no reply of the how-to's since an a newbie in devel-kde community. Finally, Since i am looking forward to getting involved the process, mentoring isn't my main agenda, I would very glad to contribute to the pairs project under your and Marco's guidance. Contribution is what matters for me :) Affectionate regards, Harsh Vrajesh Thakkar Research Scholar |BioNLP, Information Retrieval Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information Communication Technology, Gandhinagar Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/harsh9t> |LinkedIn <http://in.linkedin.com/in/thakkarharsh> |Twitter <https://twitter.com/Harsh9t> |Web <http://harshthakkar.in/> "People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them.
