<br>
"As you like it" - having your KDE related sources in one place is a good \
idea, but no requirement.<br> <br>
I use KDE/ <- contains kdelibs, workspace etc. sources<br>
KDE/BUILD <- contains the resp. build directories<br>
<br>
but you can also use<br>
~/foo/kdelibs<br>
~/bar/kdelibs/workspacebuild<br>
~/bar/kde-workspace<br>
~/foo/kde-workspace/libsbuild<br>
<br>
Kinda insane, but possible.<br>

had an idea for a GSOC project today that might interest you. Wouldn't it be \
cool to have a visualization plasmoid for the data relationships that exist in \
Nepomuk. I was thinking a 3D graph visualization, maybe even making nodes clickable \
such that data can be navigated in a incredible new way. Nepomuk offers power that \
no desktop really has, and I think a cool new way to use that power could be a great \
addition to KDE. Eventually we could make these kinds of views a part of dolphin and \
offer a new way to navigate files.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>The idea seems nice, but right now, at \
least for Google Summer of code, I rather focus on directly usable improvements that \
can easily be integrated within existing applications.<br>
<br></div><div>That being said, it does sound quiet interesting. I'll be happy to \
help you in implementing this, if you want to do so. But not as a google summer of \
code project (or soc). We're very short on mentors for Nepomuk, and I don't \
think I can take more than 1 student this year.<br>

<div>If this doesn't fit the fancy of you guys, I am also happy to take on a \
proper rewrite of the Nepomuk query parser. I could probably even fit this work into \
my summer of coding, as it shouldn't take too long to rewrite that parser.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Seeing that some other students have been taking over my other \
ideas, I thought that this idea might be a little more fresh and a good thing to base \
my proposal on, which I plan to draft soon.</div></div>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>You might want to setup a KDE development \
environment and maybe look at some junior jobs and other tasks [1] I like to asses a \
