I'd love to do something PIM and Akonadi related, but my teacher does not
understand what Akonadi is and its use and I'm not experienced enough to
better explain it to him.

In general I am not sure if either of those ideas would qualify for a master<br>
thesis work, but that will of course depend on what the university expects.<br>
<br>
Speaking as a PIM developer we would of course love to have someone work on<br>
PIM stuff and PIM data and user interfaces in general make good research<br>
material :)<br>
<br>
I would suggest you also ask on the kde-pim mailinglist so you can get<br>
feedback by more developers from that area.<br>

<br>
</div>That shouldn't be a problem. Aside from help being available on \
mailinglists,<br> quite some projects have people who are experienced mentors.<br>
