&gt; I&#39;m planning to apply to participate in GSoC this year.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I would like to implement a graphical KDE application and/or a KPart plugin<br>
&gt; (or seperate dialog) for  S.M.A.R.T hard disk diagnostics and monitoring<br>
&gt; using udisks, smartmontools, libatasmart and Solid<br>
&gt; Currently there is a GUI for smartmontools in GTK (GSmartControl)<br>
&gt; I would like to implement a similar idea in Qt for KDE<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I want to create a  kpart plugin / dialog which can be used in kinfocenter<br>
&gt; to display the HDD health along with the other info on hard disks already<br>
&gt; being displayed, and also use it as a perhaps a plugin for dolphin<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; In addition to simply displaying the health/SMART info it would also have a<br>
&gt; interface to schedule the health tests and configure notifications to be<br>
&gt; displayed when imminent failure is detected, etc.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Please tell me what you think<br>
&gt; Is this too &#39;small&#39; or unambitious a project for GSoC ?<br>
<br>
</div>We already have a student for &quot;Easy partitioning&quot; so you choosing \
another one<br> comes in handy :p<br>
<br>
I&#39;d add one more thing to this GSoC which is &quot;Disk Management&quot;, \
basically this<br> includes:<br>
1-Creating iso-s from optical mediums<br>
2-Be able to mount the iso&#39;s<br>
3-Burn these iso&#39;s into an optical medium<br></blockquote><div><br>Doesn&#39;t \

What do you think?<br>
<br>
Can you send a proposal to <a \
