== Guidelines  ==

=== Adding a Proposal ===

When adding an idea to this section, please include the following data:

:*if the application is not widely known, a description of what it does and where its code lives
:*a brief explanation (2-5 sentences)
:*a url link to the project repository
:*an easy, medium or hard rating of the project
:*the expected results
:*pre-requisites for working on your project (skills required/preferred)
:*if applicable, links to more information or discussions
:*mailing list or IRC channel for your application/library/module
:*your name and email address for contact (if you're willing to be a mentor)
:*If students need to be reminded of the workload, expected size(hours) of the project.

If you are not a developer but have a good idea for a proposal, get in contact with relevant developers first.

{{Note|Follow this template!}}

=== Project: Something that you're totally excited about ===

'''Brief explanation:''' Do you have an awesome idea you want to work on with KDE but that is not among the ideas below? That's cool. We love that! But please do us a favor: Get in touch with a mentor early on and make sure your project is realistic and within the scope of KDE. That will spare you and us a lot of frustration.

'''Expected results:''' Something you and KDE loves

'''Difficulty:''' Easy, medium or difficult project

'''Knowledge Prerequisite:''' Probably C++ and Qt but depends on your project

'''(Optional) Duration:''' If it's long, estimate the approximate duration, it doesn't need to be exact. Like ~200 hours.

'''Mentor:''' Try to see who in KDE is interested in what you want to work on and approach them. If you are unsure you can always ask in [https://matrix.to/#/#kde-soc:kde.org #kde-soc:kde.org] on matrix.

=== Project: Automate Lokalize Glossary Updates ===

'''Brief explanation:''' Lokalize is used to translate many KDE applications.  By using a glossary, the translation process can be made more consistent and faster.  The aim of the project is to use existing translations to enable updating of the glossary.

'''Expected results:''' An improved translation workflow

'''Difficulty:''' Easy

'''Knowledge Prerequisite:''' Knowledge of a scripting language and interest in translation

=== Project: Cross platform Games ===

'''Brief explanation:''' KDE applications can run on desktop and mobile devices.  Very few applications have been ported to work on mobile phones though, see https://apps.kde.org/platforms/android/ for some examples.  Choose one of the KDE games and port it to also work on a mobile phone. Example KDE applications that work on a mobile phone are [https://apps.kde.org/gcompris/ GCompris] and [https://apps.kde.org/ktuberling/ KTuberling]. Gcompris use QtQuick and QML to make contributions easier. Some possible games include:
* [https://apps.kde.org/kajongg/ Kajongg]
* [https://apps.kde.org/kmahjongg/ KMahjongg]
* [https://apps.kde.org/kshisen/ KShihsen]
* [https://apps.kde.org/kigo/ Kigo]
* [https://apps.kde.org/blinken/ Blinken]
* [https://apps.kde.org/klickety/ Klickety]
* [https://apps.kde.org/skladnik/ Skladnik]
* [https://apps.kde.org/kbounce/ Kbounce]

'''Expected results:''' More applications available on mobile devices.

'''Difficulty:''' Medium

'''Knowledge Prerequisite:''' Knowledge of C++
